Home Toun Wild With Jov OUer Harding's Nomination Marion Begins Celebrating Minutes Before Official An
 nouncement of Senator's Nomination by Re- publicans for the Presidency

central Ohio city of nearly S5,ooO peo- pie went wild with joy and enthusiasm tonight when it learned that one of it's eltlzens. warren G. Harding, had been nominated for the presidency by the republican national convention.
 Minutes before il was announced of ficially at Chicago that Harding had been nominated Marion started cele- brating what 1t considered a sure thing. Factory whistles were footed, church bells were rung and Harding's friends and neighbors gathered on the streets in shouting. laughing groups.
 No one was at the Harding nome to receive the news. The house, one of the modest dwellings of the city, was dark
 Harding's father and sister were the center of enthusiastic groups of towns people. who discussed excitedly the developments of the day at the Chi cago convention.
 The father. Dr. J. P. Harding, prac- ticing physician. received the news of the honor to his son on his seventy sixth birthday. He seemed highly elated. as did sister, Abigail Hard ing, who teaches English in the Marion High School.
 The elder Hardings received the news without excitement. He declared that he had not wanted his son to be nomi- mated, but now that he is nominated he declared he would vote for him for President
 Earlier in the day when Harding s nomination appeared assured, the father told intimate friends he hope "Warren" would not be nominated, as so many presidents and men in high office are assassinated. He said he didn't want his boy harmed" Never

IS VERY HAPPY

Chica go June 12-Caught at the hotel
 to which he rushed from the Coliseum
 after his nomination, Senator Harding
 made no formal statement, but declared
 he was very happy" and deeply gate
 ful' to his friends.
 The republican nominee showed plainly
 his elation when he emerged from his
 rooms with Mrs. Harding to face a pat
 tery of camera men.
 If you want to make Mrs. Harding
 look pleased said the man on whom
 the republican party had just conferred
 the greatest honor in it's gift, tell her
 something about the price of milliery
 coming down.
 There was a burst of laughter. in
 which Mrs. Harding joined, and the cameras clicked a lively accompaniment as the photographers adopted the sug- gestion.
 Mrs. Harding was beaming with happi- ness Asked for some comment upon her feelings as to the distinction gwen her husband by his fellow republicans she said
 1T am tremendously pleased, of course But I think my husband is worthy oi this honor, and I am content to be Tn the reflected light"
 Senator and Mrs. Harding were busy with preparations to enable them to catch a train leaving for Washington within a few hours. The senator nao 1 been up nearly all night in the rounc of conferences with party chieftains which led to his nomination. and today spent hours in the heat and strain al | the Coliseum while the battle from whicf l he emerged a victor by an overwhelming l vote was brought to such a dramaue close.
 The pleasure of the victory had re- faxed the physical strain, however. and the Ohio senator showed little evidence of it after he had bathed and put on fresh clothing.

ever, the right to fight any tax that is not constitutional
 This is a government of laws and not of men, as the governor well says in his statement. I might also suggest That the only object and end of gov ernment is the protection of the citi- zen in his life, liberty and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression"
 l The governor has no reason to in- clude me in his insinuating denuncia- | tions. If he had listened to me last summer he would have had less trou- ble now.

 theless. Dr. Harding appeared to be
 the happiest man in the world tonight. Mrs. Harding was with her husband
 at Chicago when the nomination was made. The Hardings have no chill dren.
 Senator Harding is successful
 newspaper publisher. Since 1884 he has owned and published the Marion Star. He has been in newspaper work since he was 19. When in Marion he spends all of his time at the Star of flee in the active management of the paper. He is practical printer and ! delights in spending hours in his com posing room handling type. He began his newspaper career on I the Marior Mirror. ~Sich was a demo- cratic newspaper. at $9 week salary and was discharged from the staff of l that paper during the Blaine campaign because his sympathies were with Blaine and because he insisted upon wearing the high hat of the Blaine partisans.
 The republican presidential nomi- nee was born November 2S, 1865, at Blooming Grove. Morrow county, Ohio, just nineteen miles east of Marion. When a boy his family moved to Gale donia, nine miles nearer Marion, where young Harding taught school for two years. He played a cornet in the Gale
 donia brass band and later received a
 college education at a little Baptist
 college at Iberia, Ohio.
 When he was 19 years old Harding
 moved to Marion to study law, but
 law did not hold his fancy long. In
 college he had been editor of the col
 lege paper and newspaper work
 thrilled him. It was then that he be-
 gan work on the Mirror, from which
 paper he was fired"
 His political life began in 1S99 when
 he was elected to the state Senate from
 the Thirteenth Ohio district. In 1908
 he was elected lieutenant governor of
 Ohio and was elected to the United
 States Senate in 1913. He was mar
 ried in 1891 to Miss Florence King of
 Marion.
 Golf is Senator Harding's particular
 hobby. He also is a great baseball fan and attends the game whenever possible.
 He is a great home man and likes nothing better than to sit at his own fireside entertaining friends with the help of Mrs. Harding. He takes great pride in the fact that he has never had any labor trouble at his newspaper plant.
 Senator Harding is trustee of the l Trinity Baptist Church. of which he is | a member and upon whose services he l is regular attendant when in Marion. 1 Senator Hardings middle name is Gamaliel.
 l The republican, nominee knows how to smile even under defeat. This was shown in the 1910 Ohio campaign, when
 he opposed Judson Harmon for governor and was defeated by the democratic candidate by more than 100000, despite campaign assistance from Theodore | Roosevelt

RAY RUSHTON MAKES REPLY TO GOV. KILBY

To the Editor of The Age-Herald;
 Governor Kilby in an ill-tempered statement in Thursdays daily newspa- pers, in which he attempts to indict the people of Montgomery as a whole because some of them are exercising the right, in a peaceable manner to assemble together and apply to those inveyted with power for a redress OF grievances as guaranteed by th< twenty fifth section of the bill of rights. in an insinuating way couples me up with what he is pleased to call "tax-dodgers," singers of bolshevik anthems and people who are hiding their identity behind blanket of se- crecy." etc. He garbles my arguments before a committee of the legislature and before the supreme court in income tax cases. and immediately follows this garbling with a charge of present in sincerity.
