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. We must not .

problems of the government. 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:
