Senator Frederick H. Gillett. chair
man of the convention, in ihe keynote
address hailed the present prosperity
as the greatest since Adam and urged
the maintenance of the Republican
administration and protective tariff
"which had brought it about." He
dwelt on the reduction of the national
debt and of taxes and spoke favorably
of ihe refunding of the war dehls.
Senator William M. Butler did not
Include prohibition in the subjects he
discussed, but found two questions for
the State to answer in the November
elections: Whether the Republican
party is to he supported in the legis
lative branch for the fulfillment of its
party pledges, and whether Massa
chusetts desires to continue effectively
Ihe administration of Calvin Coolidge
or to weaken him in the last half of
his term.
"We are fighting in Massachusetts
today." he said, "a campaign of more
than local significance. The national
leaders of the Democratic party make
no secret of their attempts to score a
victory in this State, believing in that
way they can bring about humiliaton
of the President."
