 Senator Poindexter in his statement said:
 s'I expect to do everything can to aid in the election of the republican ticket. It is a strong ticket and de- serves the support of the American people. Both Senator Harding and Governor Coolidge. have demonstrated their level headedness, their unim' peachable integrity and their .busi- ness efficiency. Both have had the experience of typical hard working patriotic, public spirited American citizens. These experiences have in. evitably shaped their character whlcf in turn will direct and govern theil actions in public office. There VII be no danger under the administers ton of these men, of American inde |pendence or, honor being compro mised or bartered away"
