FOR PRESIDENT Warren G. Harding, of Ohio.

B urtil 14 years of age, when he en- tered Ohio Central College of Iber- ia, from which he was graduated. As editor of the college paper he first 3 displayed talent for journalism. He was obliged to stop school now and then and earn money with which to pursue his college course. At one time he cut corn, at another he painted barns and at still another drove team and helped to grade the roadbed of a new railway. At IT he taught a district school and play ed horn in the village brass band.
 At odd times he worked in the viii lage printing office, in time becoming an expert typesetter and later ffno- type operator. He is a practical pressman and @ job printer, and as a makeup man. is said to have few equals. The luck piece he has car ried as a senator is the old printers rule he used when sticking type.
 Tn 1884 Dr. Harding moved his family to Marion. A short time afterward the father purchased for Warren Harding the Star, then a small paper.
 On the paper Warren Harding per formed every function from devil to managing editor,
 All the years the senator has owned it there has never been strike or a threatened one.
 Senator Harding is closely 1dentl- fled with many other large business enterprises in Marion and other parts of the state. He is director of a bank and several large manu- featuring plants and is trustee Of the Trinity Baptist Church.
 MT. Harding has twice represented the 18th senatorial district of Ohio in the state legislature and served one term as lieutenant governor. At the 1914 election Harding was elect ed United States senator by major ity of more than 100000, running 73.OOO ahead of the next highest on the ticket.

effect on the whole country, and was a notable force in bringing back a reign of reason in labor circles.
 The state election in Massachu- sets followed shortly after the police strike, and the Democratic candidate for governor made his campaign on that issue. He made an open appeal to the forces be- hind the police strike promised to re-instate the strikers and went up and down the state appealing to the element of the population that had favored radical industrial action. Tn the election which followed party lines were practically sweps away. Leading Democrats announced their support of Coolidge, and when the ballots were counted it was found that Coolidge had been reelected by the greatest plurality ever given to a gubernatorail candidate in the hisory of the old Bay State. In state where women do not vote he received the astounding majority Of 130,000. The issue had been Amer icanism, and as she had shown in many other crises, Massachusetts stood fast for the right. The part which Coolidge played in this cleo tion and the splendid endorsement of his leadership made him a sym bol for those in this country who still believed in the doctrines which made the United States the home of the free and the land of the brave. His importance and availability to his party for the coming presidential campaign have grown steadily since the November election last year, and eliminated in his nomination at Chicago.

FOR VICE-PREsIDENT Calvin Coolidge, of Massachusetts

into the Presidency, the fortunes of the country will be in capable hands.
 Coolidge is a poor man. He lives in half of a two-story rented house. His salary as governor of Massachu- setts is $1000000 8 year, and with out doubt, that is the largest in- come he ever had. He is married and has two children both boys. He was educated at Amherst Col Iege in Massachusetts, and after graduating studied law in an office in Northampton, city in the west ern part of the same state. He has lived and practiced law in Northamp- ton ever since.
 His experience politically has been a surprise to his greatest friends and admirers. He served two terms in the lower house Of the Massachu- setts legislature, and later four terms in the state senate. Two of the latter terms he was elected president of the senate. He was then nominated for lieutenant gov ernor of the state and was elected to that office in three successive years, his popularity being shown by the plurality he received in each of these years, 1915, 42,184; 1916, S4,- 930; 1917, 1O1,731.
 Tn 1918 he was the candidate of his party for governor, and was elected. It was during his first year as governor that he became a na- tiona1 figure The policemen of Boston, who are governed by state commissioner formed a union and went on a strike to enforce their de- mands. For three days Boston was without police protection and hood lums and roughs ran wild throughout the downtown sections of the New England metropolis. The issue was law and order, and Coolidge stepped into the breach. By his clear and definite stand, his uncompromising adherence to the doctrine of the fundamental governmental rights of the people, and his courageous dis regard of the political effect of his actions, be- for a short time, typi- fled real Americans faith in pop ular government. The wave of in- dustrial unrest sweeping the country reached it's peak in the Boston police strike, and the action of Coolidge in presenting firm front in that trouble, had 8 steadying
