D|SCOURAGES PURCHASE
| OF CUBAN SUGAR CROP
President Menocal Wires Govern
ment Action Would Serve to
Stimulate Prices.

Action by the United States gov
eminent to acquire the remaining
portion Of the Cuban sugar crop
would only stimulate prices. Presi-
dent Menocal Of Cuba declared in u
cablegram received yesterday by SEN
ator McNary of Oregon.
The present crop, President Menocal
said. is 20 per cent less than esti-
mated in December. due to drought.
This factor. he added, not alone has
increased prices, but an unusual de-
nand, coupled with speculation, has
had an influence on the market.
The Cuban president estimated that
there now were 1.350,000 tons of
sugar on hand in Cuba. in addition
to two or three hundred thousand
tons remaining to be made. A con-
siderable portion of this. he said.

The moral value to nation, of re-
nown such as Washington's, Lincoln's,
McKinley's and Roosevelt's is beyond
all computation. No loftier ideal can
be held to the emulation of ingenious
youth. With such examples we may be
for what they did, leet usbe still more
grateful for what they were.
Nov we need a leader who typifies
the genius, the character and ability of
the great ones who have gone before
We have just passed through great
war. We have a tremendous national
debt, We have difficult foreign ques-
lions to settle. We have domestic prob
lens to solve. Our finances need atten-
ton. We must have economy Our
productive agencies must be stimulat-
ed.
in this time we need a man of cool
judgment and common sense in the
White House. We ned pilot who will
steer by the chart and compass of con-
stitutional government. We need CO.
operation in government, not dictation
We need a governmet of law ad order.
We want peace established in the
world. America will see the dawn of a
brighter day in the election of Warren
G. Harding"

his name was called and he was pre-
scented with the third prize, 5000, and
told to follow the bands which had
won first and second prizes. The three

Senator Harding says it was the
proudest moment of his life.
Senator Harding has had six years
in the Senate. He has served as Chair
man Philippines Committee, on the
Naval Affairs Committee, the Com
merce Committee and, during the past
year on the Foreign Relation Commit
tee, where he voted for ratification of
the Treaty with e Lodge reserva-
lions. He prepared, introduced and
passed the amendment to the Selective
Service Act which provided for the
sending of Theodore Roosevelt at the
head of division to France, for which
Colonel Roosevelt was always grateful
to him He has been active in COM
mittee work and on the floor. His
speeches are forceful and convincing.
He is in the very prime of a splen-
did physical and mental manhood. He
has never occupied position in pri-
vate or public life where he did not, to
the fullest measure, fill all the expec-
tations of his friends and constituents
His personal character is not only
above reproach, but it is absolutely
spotless. In his domestic life he is a
model American citizen and husband,
faithful to every obligation or honor
and affection and an exponent in his
own life and character in all respects
of the perfection of that great bull
wark of American liberty-the Ameri-
can home.
81 am an old fashioned fellow
brought up as was on a farm and on
the same land in New Jersey where my
ancestors had settled over two hun

what the American home is like and
what an influence it has been in build
ing deep the structure of this great
Republic and creating the stalwart
Americanism of its statesmen. We
thank God the wholesome influence of
the American home has been thrown
around Warren Harding. The Ameri-
can home has been the foundation of
this great nation. 1t has been the in
spiration of love of country, of reli-
gious conviction, of true living, of pur-
ity, Of character. A man reared in this
way when he becomes the head of this
nation will in spirit live in every home
