everybody, and there was no opposi
ton to its adoption. The delegates
were also able to agree upon a man as
candidate for President who is Meth
er a radical nor an extreme conserva-
tive-one who will aid in restoring
government by responsible party
organization instead of government
controlled by one man who not only
bosses his party but tries to run the
government in accordance with his
personal views regardless of the judg-
ment of other men who are often bet
ter qualified than he
Every bit of unrest and trouble
in this country today can be traced in
one way or another back to the poll
cies of the present Administration,
which means the policies of ne Wood
row Wilson. He has cared nothing
for the advice of his cabinet or the
advice of the big men of the country.
He has gone ahead with the idea
that he knew it all and that if he
thought thing ought to be done in a
certain way it could not be done bet
ter. But NO man can know it all
and NO man can run this government
to suit himself. If Congress has fail
ed to accomplish some things, al
well, it has been because Woodrow
though think they have done mighty
Wilson has refused to give in on any
of his views and all the time ignored
or antagonized Congress. And that
is certainly wrong when we remem-
Der that Congress is made up of men
elected by the people of this country
to frame our laws
"Now children, this kind of admin
istration has made it possible for Boil
shevism and all kinds of extreme
radical forces to gain Roadway. 1t
must be stopped, and when Warren
G. Harding is elected President it
WILL be stopped. There will be no
playing with radicals as we have
seen going on with Mitchell Palmer
as Attorney General. There will be
no more sending of money by the mil
lions to foreign countries or planning
to mix up with every country in the
world when our own problems should
be solved first We will have a gov
eminent ,as the great Lincoln said,
of the people, by the people, for the
people The Republican party has
had the courage to say it must end
and we will have no more of Wilson
ian government"
Where did Senator Harding go af-
ter the convention ?" asked Jack.
"He went right back to Washing
ton Jack, to attend to his duties as
Senator. He is not going to resign
or quit as Senator. He is a hard
worker and always arrives at his Of
flee by nine o'clock in the morning.
On his first day in Washington after
the convention he worked far into the
night to catch up with his letters. But
although he has been under a hard
strain and working hard since he ar
rived in Washington he is in the best
of health. He loves to play golf and
plays a splendid game which keeps
him in good physical shape, very ne
cessary for any man who must face
the possibilities as head of this
great country.
TO show you what people think of
him, who know him, | am going to
read what Senator King, of Utah, a
Democrat has said about Senator
Harding. Here it is: Harding re-
minds me very strongly of Mckinley,
whom / knew. 1t seems to me that
the Democrats should be wiling to adj
init, as | am, that the Chicago con-
vention selected the strongest ticket
they could have chosen
II hope Senator Harding will be
the next President" said Ruth.
"He WILL be the next President -
answered Uncle Ted, "and the United
States will again be governed by the
Constitution as the fathers intended 4.
Now scamper along to bed and next
week | will tell you all about Senator
Harding's life and the many things
he has done"
