MN eat moved down the road to a spot
where Hagrole had been raised ear
iier IN the day. Three trees had been
spliced together to make pole taller
than any ever before raised at SINH
lar gathering in the state. The com
mittee in charge said it hesitated to
give out the actual measurements for
lear OF being denounced for exaggcr-
alton, but Senator Harding, hauling
hand over hand on the ropes, raised
flag to its peak while the Columbus
Glee Club sang two stanzas of the
tar-Spangled Banner and the fiag
reached the top just as it finished
There were two speakers on the pro-
gram besees Senator Harding Mrs.
Harriet Taylor Upton, chairman
of the Republican National Committee
and Representative Simeon D. Fess,
for this was his-the 7th-dstrict
"Hurrah for Uncle Warren!"
When Senator Harding was intro
duced there came a cry from the out
skirts of the big crowd that probably
is destined to be echoed in many other
throngs before the campaign is ended
and very likely for long afterward.
"Hurrah for Uncle Warren!" shouted
this individual, lank, bearded, farmer
with buggy whip poised in the attitude
OF soldier at ease.
The Senator smiled. So did Mrs
Harding, and presently the others in
the gathering were calling to "Uncle
Warren"
1t is possible they have called him
Uncle Warren" before this, but the
Senator has never mentioned it. In
his youth he was called "Doc," in recog-
milton of his fathers being the village
doctor. In Marion his intimates and his
family call him "W. g." but "Uncle
Warren" has substance and is likely
to live.
Discusses Farm Program
In his speech Senator Harding told
of three policies that form his agri-
cultural program The first of these
is that America shall do all possible
to make prosperous the land-owning
American farmer, and reduce tenancy
The second is the distribution of farm
products in such fashion as to elm
mate unnecessary middlemen, en-
couraging to the fullest extent CO.
operative buying and selling among
American farmers. A prospective tariff
for American agricultural produce is
his third policy.
The candidate developed in his
speech to-day the social justice plan
he spoke of yesterday when he pro-
posed the creation of Federal depart
ment of public welfare. He said:
"It is a nations business to concern
itself with the social welfare of our
farm life. We want prosperity for
tho American farmer which will allow
him to bid for normal farm labor.
This year, in many sections Of the
United States, girls, mothers and old
women have had to take up the task Of
working in the fields, and much of
this work has been too hard to be con-
sistent with wholesome maternity and
wholesome standards of American
rural life.
I'VE must see to it also that we i'm
mediately raise the standards of rural
education. We have just awakened to
the fact that the education of the
American child everywhere has fallen
below the standard necessary for the
protection of our future. We have had
to face the fact that our school teach
ers are underpaid, and that, as re-
suit, among the inadequate number who
can be found for service there is 8
menacing proportion of them who are
