ed out the state guard to patrol the streets of Boston after a night of rioting, announced that law and order would be preserved and declared that the strikers were deserters and that their places would be filled by other men.
 The strikers never regained their positions. Troops maintained order for several weeks and a new police force was recruited. The stand taken by the governor carried his name to all parts of the country and in his own state he was promptly nick named Flaw and Order Coolidge"
 As the presidential campaign of 1920 approached, his admirers tried to induce him to become an active caHdi- date for the republican nomination for president. They had gone so far as to open headquarters for, him in Wash ington and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge had offered to present his name to the national convention if the gov ernor so desired, when he announced publicly that he was not a candidate and that it is considered that while he was governor, his job was at the state house.
 The headquarters was closed but the majority of the Massachusetts dele gates went to Chicago with the de- clared intention of voting for him at least on the first ballot.
 A Filler of the Soil.
 Calvin Coolidge was born on farm in the little village of Plymouth, Yer mont, on July 4, 1872. His father, in addition to carrying on the farm, was the village storekeeper. Coolidge's ancestors, from the time John Cool idge settled in Watertown, Mass, in 1630, were all farmers.
 Young Calvin worked on the farm and in the store and attended the will lage school. Then he progressed in his education in academies in the Yer mont towns of Ludlow and St. Johns- bury and his father sent him to Am herst college. At the commencement exercises in the year of his gradua- tion he was one of the class orators.
 Coolidge next studied law in the of- flee of law firm in Northampton to such good effect that after 20 months digging at the law books he was ad- mitted to the bar. He opened law office in the same city and continued to practice there until his public duties occupied all his time.
 His first public office was as mem- Der of the Northampton city council in 1899. Successively he was city so- licitor, county clerk, state represent ative for two years, mayor for two years, state senator for four years, the last two serving as president of the senate, and lieutenant governor for three years. In 1918 he was nomin- ated by the republicans without op- position for governor and was elected by plurality of about 17,000. He was in 1919 and, aided by the prestige gained through his relation to the Boston police strike, was reelected by a plurality of more than 125,000 and received the largest total vote ever cast for a governor in Massa- chusetts.
 Governor Coolidge was married in 1905 to Miss Grace A. Goodhue of Bur lington, Vt. Their two children are both boys. When he was chosen gov einor he did not abandon his modest residence in half of double house in Northampton, but took up his quar- ters in a single room in small Bos- ton hotel in the business district, re- turning the hundred odd miles to his home for the week-ends.

Warren C. Harding.


 Warren G. Harding has always beer resident of Ohio, which state he ha' represented as United States senator since 1914. In private business life hs is publisher of the Marion (O.) Star.
 He was born on a farm near the vii lage of Blooming Grove, Morrow coun ty, Ohio, November 2, 1865, the eldes' of eight children. His father, George T. Harding, was country doctor whose forebears came from Scotland Before going to Ohio the Hardings were residents of Pennsylvania, where some of them were massacred by In dians. Others fought in the Revolu' tionary war. The mother of Warren Mrs. Phoebe Dickerson, was descended from an old-time Holland Dutch fam, lily, the Van Kirks.
 In his youth Warren Harding liveC the life of a farmer boy, attending the village school until IA years of age when he entered Ohio Central College of Iberia, from which he was gradu. ated. As editor of the college paper he displayed talent for journalism He was obliged to stop school now and then and earn the money with which to pursue his college course. At one tint he, cut corn, at another painted barns and at still another rrove team and helped to grade the roadbed of a new railway. At IT he taught dis trict school and played horn in the village brass band.
 At odd times he worked in the will lage printing office, in tint becoming an expert typesetter, and later lin- otype operator He is a practical pressman and a job printer, and as a makeup man he is said to have few equals. The luck piece he has carried as senator is the old printers rule he used when he was sticking type.
 In 1884 Dr. Harding moved his fam fly to Marion. A short time after ward the father purchased for Warren Harding the Star, then a small paper. On the paper Warren Harding per formed every function from devil to managing editor. In all the years the senator has owned it there has never been a strike or threatened one.
 Senator Harding is closely identified with many other large business enter prises in Marion and other parts of the state. He is director of a bank and several large manufacturing plants and is trustee of the Trinity Baptist church.
 Mir. Harding has twice represented the Thirteenth senatorial district of Ohio in the state legislature and serv- ed one term as lieutenant-g governor. At the 1914 election he was elected United States senator by majority of more than 100000, running 73,OOO ahead of the next highest on the tick ct. In the senate he is member of the committee on foreign relations.
 Senator Harding married Miss Florence King in 1891.
 Senator Harding was nominated on his fathers birthday and election day comes on his own birthday. So the signs portend that fate has selected him as our next president.

sneakIno Into Camp.

A private who had overstayed his leave one night sneaked into camp and was just on the point of entering the barracks when the sentry turned at the end of h/s beat. The private. who was closely watching the guard, real izing that he would be detected, also turned and acted as though he was trying to sneak out of camp. "Get back there; no man out tonight !" shouted the guard. Needless to add the private lost 10 time in o5eying the oeder.
