PAGE TWO THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 1924 CALLS TO WOMEN TO USE BALLOT President Asks That Ri*ht Be Exer cised Fully, In Addressing Daughters of Revolution. Washington, April 14.—An appeal to the women of America to ^jcercise fully their newly gained right of suf frage in the November national elect ions, was made by President Coolidge in an address tonight before the Thirty-third continental congress of the Daughters of the American Revo lution. The president combined with this appeal a warning against departure “in this • current troubled ’period’ from the American system of govern ment providing for coordinate legis lative, executive and judicial author ity and for government by the major-* ity. He made no direct reference, however to the recent clashes between the executive and legislative depart ments nor did he mention specifical ly recent combinations of the Demo cratic minority, wth insurgent Repub licans to override the Republican majority in congress. The American people, the president declared, may well be summoned “to the preservation, the guardianship, and the gradual perfection of this system” of government which assur es the people “equality against the tyranny of any despotic executive and the tyranny of any despotic legisla ture.” “Popular government is facing one of the difficult phases of the perpet ual trial to.Which it alwaye has been and always will be subjected,”., he said. “It needs the support of every element of patriotism, intelligence and capacity that can be summoned. “I am much less concerned for what party, what politics and what candidates you vote, than that you shall vote, and that your vote shall represent conviction. When an en lightened electorate acts I have no fear of the result. “Here in America we are living under a form of Democratic-Republi can institutiions which I profoundly believe to be the best that has yet been thoroughly tested* I say this because our system has gone so far in carefully separating the different muhipUcity of constitutional their part well.

In the early development of popular insti tutions the legislative and executive authorities were divided but not un til the founders of our republic had made a further distribution and dif ferentiation of functions, was popu lar government assured the oppor tunity to prove its case. When the judicial function was set apart and made die third independent but co ordinating factor in the form of gov ernment, the scheme of a perfected Democratic-Republicanism was for the first time presented to the world. That Was the great contribution, made by the founding fathers in our constitution. By virtue of it, the people were at last assured equality against the tyranny of any despotic executive and the tyranny of any despotic legislature. Neither of them, nor both of them together, might thereafter impose a lawless will upon a defenseless people. “To the preservation, the guardian ship and the gradual perfection of this system the American people may well be summoned. From its earli est establishment, our government has been an example to other peoples, wherever they might be, seeking the way of enlightened freedom. ... “We shall succeed, if we keep al ways before us the high purpose which presided at the beginning of our government. We shall need at all times and we need particularly in this current trouble period to keep clear ly in our thought the conception of our system as the most nearly per fect mode of guaranteeing the es sentials of freedom. . . . “Under it we have grown in strength and wealth and moral au thority. But we have never seen, and it is unlikely that we ever shall see, the time when we can safely relax our vigilance and risk our institu tions to ran themselves under the hand of an active, even though well intentioned -minority. And still fur ther, we shall be wise if we maintain also that no majorty can be trusted to he wise enough and good enough at all times to exercise unlimited con- trol over i minority. We need the restraints of a written constitution. 'To prevent the possibility of such things happening, we must require all citixens who are entitled to do so, to take their full part in public af fairs. We must ,be sure that they are educated, trained and equipped to do statutory provisions to become oo complex as to get beyond control by an aroused and informed electorate. . “As it was the initiation of Ameri ca which made manhood suffrage a modern ideal for the world, ao we want now the initiation of America to make citizen suffrage a demon strated success for the world. I have absolute confidence that if American womanhood will exercise the right of franchise, after fair, considerate and mature deliberation, voting for what is right as their best judgement shows them the right, that the right will mightily prevail. Surely the woman- hood of our country, who have lavish- d ed upon tha sons and daughters of‘ the land such a wealth of affection, who watch over them in dvery crisis from the cradle to the grave with im measurably devotion, will not hesi tate to make sufficient sacrifice to preserve for themselves and those they love the last best hope of the of April, Anno Do: 0.

The purpose of the campaign is to get bundles of old clothes and cans of condensed milk’ for the Armenian orphans. We sincerely hope that the people • of Clinton will respond readily to this most worthy cause, of helping these orphans who have suffered so much from the “Terrible Turk.” Yours sincerely. O. K.
