PLEASES CHILDREN
JACK AND RUTH LEARN ABOUT
SENATOR HARDING, OUR
NEXT PRESIDENT

because our next president will be
real man."
What do you mean, Uncle Ted?"
asked Ruth.
81 mean, Ruth, that the great re-
publican convention has closed after
naming 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 its nominee,
Senator Harding, stand for is the
kind of government that every Am
erican citizen is longing to return to,
the sooner the better. The next time
tell you a story, l am going to tell
you all about the history of the life
of Senator Harding. Tonight l want
to give you little idea of what this
he mans nomination means to the
country.
Senator Harding is an old fash
toned republican. He looks, acts,
and thinks like the great Republican
president, William Mckinley, who
was killed by bad man many years
ago. He comes from the same state
and is the same kind of friendly,
kindly, fair and square gentleman.
Unlike Woodrow Wilson, Senator
Harding is a common-sense Ameri-
can who believes in the constitution
of the United States and everything
for which our popular form of gov
eminent stand. He will not close the
doors of the white house and refuse
to listen to the advice of big, brainy
men. He will not select as mem
bers of his cabinet, men who know
nothing about the various depart
ments of the government Senator
Harding will select and surround
with the brainest cabinet we
have had for many years, men whose
judgment he believes in and men to
whom he will go for advice.
when the delegates from all ov-
err the United States met in Chicago
they had many serious problems to
solve. There were groups of dele
gates with varying ideas as to princi-
pies and divergent preferences as to
Fortunately the COM
mittee of delegates who were chosen |
to write what is called a platform
were able to draw up a declaration of
principles which met the approval of
everybody, and there was no opposi- !
ton to its adoption. The delegates !
were also able to agree upon man |
as candidate for president who is |
neither radical nor an extreme con- |
who will aid in re- |
storing government by a responsible |
party organization instead of a gov |
controlled by one man who |
not only bosses his party but tries to
run the government in accordance |
he judgment of other men who are /
often better qualified than he.
Every bit of unrest and trouble in
his country today can be traced in
,ne way or another back to the poll
lies of one Woodrow Wilson. He
las cared nothing for the advice of
lis party. He has cared nothing
or the advice of his cabinet or the |
advice of the big men of the country. |
He has gone ahead with the idea |
hat he knew it all and it that if he |
thought thing ought to be done in !
/ certain way il could not be done |
better. But no man can know ii |
Ill and no man can run this govern
nent to suit himself. If congress
las failed to accomplish some things,
although I think they have done
mighty well, it has been because
Woodrow Wilson has refused to give
n on any of his views and all the
ime ignored or antagonized con-
yress. And that is certainly wrong
when we remember that congress is
made up of men elected by the peo-
nf chic
avs.
Now children, this kind of adj
has made it possible for
3olshevism and all kinds of extreme
'adical forces to gain Roadway. 1t
must be stopped, and when Warren
}. Harding is elected president it
will be stopped. There will be no
more sending of money by the
Millions to foreign countries or plan
hing to mix up with every country
n the world when~our own problems
hould be solved first. We will have
/ government, as the great Lincoln
aid, of the people, by the people, for
he people, The republican party
las had the courage to say 1T must
md and we will have no more Of
government"
Where did Senator Harding go
lfter the convention" asked Jack.
"He went right back to Washing
on, Jack, to attend to his duties as
senator. He is not going to re-
ign or quit as senator. He is
lard worker and always arrives at |
morning. On his first day in Wash
ngton after the convention he work
ID far into the night to catch up with
lis letters. But although he has
been under a hard strain and work
ng hard since he arrived in Wash
ngton he is in the best of health.
He loves to play golf and plays a
splendid game which keeps him in |
good physical shape, very necessary |
Tor any man who must face the re-
possibilities as head of this great |
"To show you what people think
IF him, who know him, I am going |
TO read what Senator King of Utah,
4 democrat, has said about Senator |
Here it is: Harding re- |
minds me very strongly of Mckinley, |
whom | knew. 1t. seems to me |
that the democrats should be willing
to admit, as l am, that the Chicago |
convention selected the strongest |
ticket they could have chosen
81 hope Senator Harding will be |
the next president" said Ruth.
'He will be the next president"
answered Uncle Ted, land the Unit
ed States will again be governed by
the constitution as the fathers in
tended. Now scamper along to bed |
and next week l will tell you all
about Senator Harding's life and the
many things he has done"
