Senator Harding's thorough knowl-

the problem Of the American farmer.
We feel sure that with his keen insight
into the difficulties confronting the
agriculturists most of the greater

Senator Poindexter in his statement
said: Il expect TO do all can in the
election. II i a strong ticket and de-
SERVED the support of the American
people. Both Senator Harding and
Governor Coolidge have demonstrated
their level headedness, their unim-
peaohable integrity and their business
efficiency. Both have had the exper-
fence Of typical hard working, patriot
ic, public spirited American citizens.
These experiences have inevitably
shaped their character which in turn
will direct and govern their actions.
There will be no danger under the
administration Of these men, of
American independence or honor being
compromised or bartered away"
