The Next President.

The Next President.
AS certain as anything can be, in this world,
is the election Of Senator Harding.
To readers Of this newspaper, the many
family groups to which it comes a regular
welcome visitor, Senator Harding's face
shines as that Of a friend.
Senator Harding, your next President, is
your kind of man. You see him. hear a few
words, and you know it.
He was born in a small town. has lived
there all his life, lives there now, and will
live there again when he leaves the White
House with his work for the country done.
How lie Lives.
lie lives as you live, simply. in the old
fashioned American way.
The main residence street in any little
American town, boasts half a dozen homes
more elaborate than Senator Harding's, and
many as good.
Millions Of men, believing in this country,
devoted to It's government, SATISFIED with
the UNITED STATES, believe that the United
States is able to deal with its own problems,
and settle its own questions free from outside
assistance or interference.
Those millions Of men are men OF the same
sort as Senator Harding.
What Kind of Man.
Harding is a big American in physical size,
thanks to vigorous farming ancestors. He IS
a Dlg American also in heart, in understand
ing, in sympathy and in simplicity.
You read his speeches and know that he
does not imagine himself created to tell all
the world what to 10. He believes in. and
he understands the American people. his
friends, the citizens Of his own little town,
Marion, Ohio, and the jewellers in thousands
Of other towns like it.
Your Servant, No Autocrat.
After you have elected him. you will find
in Senator Harding am earnest, Conscientious,
straight thinking servant of the people, not an
autocrat, but q man rc5pect.ng the traditions
of American government, and the Constitu-
ton Of the United States.
Senator Harding understands that the
people will eject him to be President Of the
United States, not President of the whole
world. He viii know that he is employed
by the PEOPLE of this country to look after
the interests Of THIS country.
Born on a farm, living all his life close to
farmers, he knows and sympathiZes with the
problems of the farm. Living in the average
American way, in the average American
small town, he knows the problems of the
average American. He understands the
printers he employs, and he knows their trade
and sets type as they do.
His Ambition.
Senator Harding has no ambition to be
called a political superman, or RULER OF
America. 1t is his ambition to be known as
a good American, a faithful servant OF those
that trust him.
National politics are discussed this year
less than at any election since the republic
was founded. Why? Because men do not
discuss, to any great extent, that which is
DEFINITELY SETTLED.
And this matte nal ~election is definitely
settled as you read this. YOU know it.
But it is important that demonstration Of
the popular will should be of the most over
whelming kind. Therefore the good citizen
will do what he can to increase the vote for
Harding, should there be any doubtful votes
within reach Of his voice.
It is almost ludicrously difficult to find a
man or woman that intends to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket this year.
But If you do find one, show him or her this
picture of the next President. And express
I'M your own way the reasons that inspire you
td approve and vote for him.
