PRESIDENT COOLIDGE1 PRESIDENTIAL While we are discussing some of the problems of the day, some of the changes we propose to meet temporary conditions, it is also well to remember that it is equally necessary to support our fundamental institutions. We believe in our method of constitutional government and the integrity of the legislative, judicial, and executive departments. We believe that our liberties and our rights are best preserved, not through poli al, but through judicial action. The Constitution is the sole source and aranty of national freedom.. We believe that the safest place to e and interpret the Constitution which the people have made is in upreme Court of the United States. de the JOHN W. DAVIS "These proposed amendments can have no other purpose than an entire change in our Constitutional system, for in attempting to destroy or limit the power of the Supreme Court to adjudicate upon the constitutionality of legislation we are giving up at one stroke not merely our belief in the separation of judicial and legislative powers but our reliance upon the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. . . When all such proposals are reduced to their simplest terms they stand forth naked and undisguised as an attack on our theory of government under a written Constitution." THE LA FOLLETTE PLATFORM We favor submitting to the peope, for their considerate judgment, a constitutional amendment providing that Congress may by enacting a statute make it effective over a judic al veto. We favor such amendment to the Constitution as may be necessary to provide for the election of all Federal Judges, without party designation, for fixed terms not exceeding ten ye s, by direct vote of the people 1From President Coolidge's Address of Acceptance of his nomination for Presi dency by the Republican Party on August 14, 1924.
