hisfecord that I gekret. On the other
hand. I find deem In his conscience
men whom I trust what I Hike least
in his record is farthest back; and
what he haE safd about forestry, con,
%seryation and tagricu1ture at Marion Is
sound and right.
e. Acts with AfSSldo,F4ty.
Senator Harding was not made to
my order. but-he- -.by-no Means the
reactionary I thought him. He is o
Republican regular, who supports
with the majority. There is nothing
%autocratic about him. Under him
there will be no one-Inan rule at
Washington. Congress will represent
not the president but the people. and
government will be- American
again. F'
Harding is. NO super-man, but
simple. earnest, sincere and human,
best thought OF where best Known.
Men who know, him. and on whose
judgment l rely. say he is slow to de-
eide, but having decided stands like
a stone wall What I saw at Marion
confirms it. i liked Harding because
he lodged nothing, looked me straight
in the eye, and Enthusiastically meant
what he. said. And l liked Mrs.
Harding even better.
Il want to see Harding elected not
only BECAUSE /. have come to think
well of him, hut. because he belongs
to the party. of Lincoln and Roosevelt,
and because 1. have had my fill of the
Democrats. at Washington. We must
nave in charge men and a party
capable. of running the government,
and in, the White House a president,
not a boss.
Cox is in bad. company. The liquor
men are for him, He. stands with
Baker, who refused to prepare when
and therefore sent against the Ger
man machine. guns thousands of
young Americans unframed or half
trained. and without artillery support.
Cox stands for Palmer, who prom
Used to reduce the. cos of living and
conspicuously failed, but for political
reasons let. the liquor traffic go on;
who denied. the rights of free speech
and free assembly; imprisoned hun-
dreds OF people in defiance OF the law
he was sworn to enforce, and turned
over to sthe Southern Pacific railroad
without a struggle five hundred mil
lion dollars. worth of oil lands in Cali
fornia to which it had no right. That
4 Palmer Was seriously considered for
the nomination at San Francisco
/ shows how low the Democrats have
fallen. There may have been more
unfadthful. public servants thar
Mitchell Palmer, but not many.
Cox stands for Wilson. No sooner
was he nominated than he FASTENED to
the White House and authorized the
/ statement that there was perfect
4 agreement in all things between VIII
son and himself. Nothing is more i'm.
portant than to have done with the
Wilson clan, and the only way to dc
that is to vote against Cox.
1.-THE people Of the whole earth
have learned at bitter cost that wha,
/, Wilson avs is no indication Of wha'
he has lone or what he will do; tha'
his words and his actions do no
match, and that to have his, own wa,
is more important in his ayes than thu
of America, the welfare Of nations, o.
the saving of human lives.
"If a man believes in Wilson, argu
ment. is useless. AS for me, I hol,
that it is time to finish with all tina
smacks of Wilson, with the inefffci
ency, extravaganza and secretiveness
with the national and internationa
!! laundering. and with the impuden
assumption of wisdom and righteous
ness beyond human. The only wa
to repudiate, Wilson is to vote agains
Cox.
FINALLY, Cox is too reckless i
\ much like a man running for a littl
Office in a little town. His speeche
shout 1t aloud-Cox is too small to b
president. Harding's speeches coul
have come only from q mar bi
enough to handle the job"
Sincerely yours.
