When Sen. Harding recently announced in one OF
his speeches that he wants to get back 70
normally he not only brought life word that
has become the quip Of many paragrapher but
he declared a truth that has a sinister meaning TO
the people
Getting back to normally" unquestionaby

turn to the good old days" when the domination
Of party and government by the politicians Of the
United States senate passed unchalenged except by
A few persons who were bold enough to call theic

Sen. Harding has always trained with the odd
guard" OF the republican party and he has sub
scribed to the political creed of the old guard He
is candidate who would have delighted the
politicians Of the days of Mark Hanna, with all
their intimidation Of labor and their corrupt uses
OF money.
One Of the ways in which the republican party
seeks to get back to normally through the repeal
OF the beneficial legislation of the last few years
among which is the federal reserve banking sys-
tenn which has taken from the fnanciers of Wall

Oft. Wayne JournaI-Gazette.)


In addressing some visiting Indians the other
day Harding, the senate parrot said:
Some in the west" he said. has be-
slowed an Indian name OF Mrs Harding. I
think they call her 'Snowbird,' with the sug-
, geston that it meant hard worker You tell
Indians in the if they bestowing
names for busy workers they should bestow
me. I shall be glad 70 see you in Washing
ton. the Of government"
This reference 10 being a busy worker has
touched risibilities OF the Louisville Courier
Journal which breaks in upon the serenity of the
front porch with the awkward questions
This may remind others besides the Indians
that Mr.. Harding has been a member Of the
senate for nearly years: but does 1t remind
anyone OF single thing he has accomplished
during that timer
What legislation did he effect7 What move
ment did he lead? What was the work this
busy worker did?
Who indeed, recall his connection with
the senate, except OF the men with whom
Mr.. Lodge packed the foreign relations commit
tee. who faithfully followed Mr. Lodges lead
and voted Mr.. Lodge decided in the long
personal and partisan fight the President
and the League Of Nations?
How utterly barren is Mr.. Harding's record
as a senator especially when coptrasted with
Mr.. Cox's record during the period a
governor record which is the record Of
Ohio's constitutional modernization and
important construction legislation"
OF course. the Courier-Journal has stumped its
toe Mr. HsrdEg said nothing about being busy
worker in the senate--of course not. The senator
is stupid and he looks like president" eve
though he does talk like poor poll. No doubt n
refers % the busy days al Chicago with the tired
about the table. and the still buster days that
burden him with the daily necessity OF shift
