MADDEN'S ESTIMATE OF
HARDING

Washington, July 19.-Congress-
man Martin B. Madden of Illinois,
for fifteen years a member of the
House Of Representative and rec
ognized as leader in the Republican
party, has expressed his view of SEN
ator Harding in statement given
out today by the Republican Public
ity Association, through it's Presi-
dent. Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., as
follows:
"The nations most important need
is a sane, conservative, economical,
constructive American program for
the conduct of it's affairs. We have
reached a period when all the wis
dom we possess should be massed to
put the nation on a stable basis. The
postwar problems are pressing and
important. Their manner of settle
ment will meant prosperity and hap
piness or want and misery to our peo-
pie. Patriotism was never more es-
sential than at this hour. Public men
should strive to learn the needs of
the people and thus fit themselves to
serve them more adequately.
Public Office is the medium
through which service to the people
is possible-not the only medium
but the most direct and effective. No
man should seek public Office who is
not willing to devote himself whole
heartedly and unselfshly to the public
veal. He should have no interest but
that of the public; he should be pre-
pared to make any sacrifice to pro-
mote the peoples welfare; he should
by his devotion to the peoples cause
endeavor to earn their confidence and
thus fit himself the better to serve
them.
"a long service in Congress has
enabled me to observe the attitude Of
public men--the things which move
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1920-08-06

them to acrion-the efficiency dis
played by them-their interest in
public questions-their industry, and
l am happy to say that no man in
public life has appealed more to my
ideal of public servant than Senator
Warren G.. Harding, the Republican
nominee for President.
ellis industry has amazed me. l
have watched his untiring energy
with admiration. The soundness of
his views, his courage, his conserva-
tive progressiveness, his poise, the
facility with which he disposses of
intricate problems, his outstanding
Americanism, his ability to differ
with his associates without leaving
the sting of disappointment; his habit
of learning facts and deciding ques-
tons with facts as the basis; his
disinterested devotion to the public
interest; his comprehensive knowl-
edge of the nations needs; his ac-
quaintance with men and things; his
pleasing personality; his pleasing per-
sonality, his knowledge of interna-
tional problems; his attitude on the
league of nations, which would safe
guard every American right; his be-
lief that this is nation of laws and
not of men; his determination to
give the country constitutional and
not a personal government, all argue
in favor of his election.

Miss Arlene Lawrence returned
from an extended trip through the

Owosso people were greatly shock
ed to hear of the death of David A..
Richards at Kearney, Neb., Sunday
evening at 80 o'clock. Mr.. Rich
ards was foreman of the store depart
ment of the Ann Arbor railroad and
he and Mrs. Richards left about ten
days ago for visit in the west. Word
was received last week that Mr.. Rich
ards was i'll with blood poisoning of
the stomach and later the news of
his sudden death came. He is sur
vived by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. Richards, his widow and three chill
dren, Harold, Gladys and Florence.
In the temporary absence of JUS
tice Friegel, Fred Hayden and Har-
vey Gay, who were arrested Monday
by the police for being intoxicated
were taken before Justice Nichols
at Corunna. Hayden was given ten
days in Jail and fined $40 and costs
in default of payment of which he is
to serve 80 days. Gay, who while
intoxicated was driving a delivery
wagon, was fined $50 and costs, and
is required to pay the repairs on the
auto he crashed into on the streets of
Owosso.
Howard, seventeen year old son of
Clarence Case, keeper of the county
farm, was seriously burned Saturday,
when an explosion followed the light
ing of match when he and his
brother, Chester, were drawing gasi-
line from a fifty-gallon tank in the
oil house at the farm. The two boys
reached home from Owosso Saturday
night about ten o'clock, and as they
were going to Round Lake on Sunday
with other boys, they started to draw
two or three gallons of gas sufficient
to run them to the first oil station.
Lighting a match to see how much
had been drawn in the can, the explo-
sion followed. Howard grabbed up
the can and carried it out of doors,
and in doing so his right hand and
leg were burned almost to crisp,
and his left hand also suffered badly.
He was wearing a good woollen suit
of clothes, to which fact DR.. w. T.
Parker, who was called, attributes
the fact he was not burned more bad
ly. The suit was ruined. The tap
in the gas tank was left running, and
all ran out, and of course burned.
