We Have Turned a Corner

Those of us who turned in after the last
election and cOnscientiously tried to support
the President during the past four years,
have now fair right to expect that those
who did not vote for President Harding will
turn in and support him because he received
the majority of votes. -,
We have got to work together, all of us,
not only to right whatever we think is
wrong, but to unite with the powers to be to
bring on the new prosperity that has formed
large part of the platform of every public
peaker during the last campaigns.
We congratulate, the women for the
part they had in the past election. ..
Far and above partisanship and every
thing else, let us be Americans.
