President Coolidge's Birthday May Provide Slogan for Coming Campaign--July 4 Has Strong Appeal to Patriots

President Calvin Coolidge was born on July 4. Now that the confusion of election day approaches, it is rumored that the President's campaign managers will utilize this fact as a slogan. Supporters of Coolidge have always considered him a "men of destiny," and the chance occurrence of his birthday coming on the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence is expected to heighten this reputation. But by the law of averages, there will be 300,000 people in the United States who will not consider the President a "man of destiny," because their own birthdays come on the same date. The campaign managers claim, however, that in such cases the coincidence of celebrating their birthday at the same time with the President will make them even more loyal to the Republican leader.

Slogans with a human element have always been sought by office-seekers as a very necessary factor in their campaigns. The famous motto of the Democratic party in the recent Senatorial race in Massachusetts, "Dis-Lodge", may be recalled as a perfect example of this. But no other President has ever been able to boast that his birthday, was on July 4, and this will undoubtedly turn out a valuable asset when the votes are counted next November.
