"What do you mean, Uncle Ted -
asked Ruth.
''I mean, Ruth, that the great Re
publican convention has closed after
namOng as the candidate for president.
Senator Warren G. Harding, of Ohio.
and everybody is pleased except the
Democrats, because they must realize
that the kind of government that the
Republican party and it's nominee, Sen
ator Harding, stand for is the kind of
government every American citizen IS
longing to return to and the sooner the
better. The next time | tell you
the history of the life of Senator Hard
ing. Tonight l want to give you 1t
tie idea of what this he man g nomin-
ation means to the country.
"Senator Harding is an old fashion
ed Republican. He looks, acts and
thinks like the great Republican prcsi-
dent, William Mckinley, who was kill.
ed by n man many years ago. He
comes from the same state. and is the
same kind of friendly, kinlly. fair, and
square gentleman. Unlike Woodrow
Wilson, Senator Harding is a common
sense American who believes in the
constitution of the United States and
everything for which our popular form
of government stands. H viii not close

''Evcrv hit of unrest and trouble
in this country today can be traced in
one way or another back to the policies
of the present administration, which
means the policies of one Woodrow
Wilson. He has cared uothin" for the
advice of his party. He has cared moth
ing for the advice of his cabinet or
the advice of the big men of the conn.
try. He has gone ahead with the idea
that he knew it all and that if lie
thought a thing ought to he done in a
certain way it could not he done better
But NO man eau know it all and NO
man can run this government to suit

complieh some things. although ! think

people of this country to frame our
