HARDING WITH
ACTORS LKENS
u. S. TO STAGE
Nominee Says There is
Too Much of Staring"
in Both.

Marion, Ohio, Aug. 24.-ihe
Hardings took the old front pGrcn
rocking chair into the house tocay
and welcomed q hos. of jazz kings,
Skinny artists, vamps and other
varieties of stage AMI movie stars
who came to call on the Republi-
can presidential candidate today.
They are members of the Harding
Coolidge theatrical league.
On the same train with AL Jol-
son, Valeska Surat, Evelyn Nesbit
and the rest of the actor troupe,
came Charles Evans Hughes, Re
publican presidential candidate in
1916, for a conference with Hal ding.
A plea that the nation get away
from "one-lead" activities so that
each citizen can play his part in
the development of American de-
mocracy, was made here today by
Senator Harding in an address to a
delegation of actors and actres ses,
representing the Harding and Cool
idge Theatrical league.
He's Not $50 Universal"
The senator also spoke for
Americanism, and deprecated any
tendency of Americans to regard
themselves as "citizers of the
world" adding that he personally,
was mot so universal"
The visit of the delegation occu-
pied the better par. Of the nomi-
nee's day but during the morning
he held a long conference with
Charles Evans Hughes, on various
issues aud policies of the cam
paign.
Colonel George Harvey, the New
York editor, was present at the
conference.
Government Like Stage.
In his speech to the theatrical
delegation, Senator Harding de-
clared the standards Of the Ameri-
can stage should be the highest in
the world.
II have been thinking lately" be
continued. that there is a great
likeness between political life
under popular government and
many of our most successful pro-
ductions on the stage. There are
many plays especially written for
notable stars and their presenta-
tion has depended largely on the
work of portraying one genius
There is, Of course, fascination in
the one-lead drama, but it makes
the spectator very much dependent
upon one individuality. l think il
is a very practical thing to suggest
that our American popular govern
ment ought not to be one-lead OF
a one-star drama OF modern civili-
zation. l want to commend the
policy Of each and every one having
his part to play, and we all must
play with enthusiasm in order to
perfect the whole production"

at the Grantwood Congregational
Church. 1t was one of his finest eff
forts, all agreed who heard it. He
said in part:
"The bravest battle that ever was
fought, shall l tell you where or when
ION the maps of the world, you'll find
it not, it was fought by the mothers of
men,"
| know of no influence so far reach
ing as motherhood. 1t is a silent in
fiuence seldom finding expression in
newspaper headlines. But it is the
silent forces of nature that are dy-
mamie and far reaching in their effect
There is nothing spectacular about
her daily work and there is lacking
the stimulous and the inspiration that
comes to man who joins forces with
others in achieving results in business
or in the pursuits of national peace or
international war.
1t has been well said that mothers
rock the cradle and rule the world.
The worlds good mothers constitute
the finest heritage of society She
more than any other class of citizens
holds in her hands the future of the
race and the destiny of the world.
Humanity has thrown about mother
hood the radiant glow of a beautiful
sentiment She is hallowed in poetry
and in song. Let us add to fine
sentiment practical scientific horse
sense and give to the motherhood of
the nation every help available that
the glory of motherhood may bloom
as sweet and fragrant and natural as
the rose. But no amount of social
protection and guardianship can ever
take the place of a motherhood con-
secrated to God. Her highest source
of strength and inspiration is born
from above.
