his actual political career | want
you to know of a most remark
able incident during the recent
primary elections for President,
held before the Republican Con-
vention gathered at Chicago.
Every man who runs for any
political office, large or small,
feels highly complimented if ne
can receive a large number OF
the votes in his own home.
When the ballots were counted
after the primary election, it
was found that Senator Harding
had received all but two votes
in the town where he spent his
boyhood days, and in the city of
Marion all but 165 votes, and
in the county all but 238 votes.
So you see that where he has
grown up since boyhood, where
he has gone into business and
played the game fair and square
the people know him. | am go
ing to read you what the
president of one of Marion's
largest manufacturing concerns
says of him. Listen
ITO the older residents of
Marion the life of Senator
Harding is an open book, show
ing his development from young
manhood to mature years; from
a position of obscurity to one of
prominence; from comparative
poverty to reasonable affiuence
and on no page of that book is
there line that his best friend
could wish obliterated. In later
years it has been my pleasure to
serve with him on various
Boards of Directors. His coun-
sci and advice have always been
sought and valued, and his
judgement on matters of i'm
portance has been invariably
sound"
THAT shows what his neigh
bors back home think of him
and that is the way every Amer
lean citizen will feel after he
has taken his seat in the White
House. His administration
will be an open book and there
will be nothing to wipe out or
forget. The United States to-
day stands in the same position
she did in 1860 and again in18-
SO. A strong man, man of
vision and pois is needed to
bring this country safely back
to government by the Constit-
ution. Every page of the record
Of Mr.. Harding's life shows us
that he sthe logical man for the
job and the job will be his after
the 4th day Of March, 1921"

Ten army trucks, a part of the con-
signment of fourteen army trucks al
lotted to the Ward county by the war
war department, were driven over
from Bismarck today by ten drivers
and will be used by Ward county to
furnish power for dragging the roads
and for hauling gravel for the high
WAYS in various sections of the coun-
ty.
The trucks were driven from Bis
marck hy Otto Might, Hans Johnson,
Morris and Alder Plaisance and Fred
Gilbert of Douglas; Evron Krantz
of Kenmare;, Edw. Hussey of Des
Laos, and d. w. Cook and Abel Tor
gerson of Minot. The drivers left
Bismarck at $3.50 O'clock Wednesday
moping, arrived in Velva at 10 o.
clock Wednesday night and drove in
at the court house at noon today.
There was not mishap on the road.
The trucks averaged ten miles an
hour. They were all three-ton trucks,
weighing great deal more than their
capacity. All are equipped with hard
rubber tires. There are four Velies
and six F. w. D. trucks, the latter
all being brand new and having been
run but sixteen miles before turned
over to- the county. The ten trucks
arriving here todav are worth fully
$50 100000 and cost the county but
1898 freight for each truck. The
county commissioners will equip them
all with dumps to be used in hauling
gravel or they may be used in drag
ging the roads. The commissioners
have big road program planned and
say the trucks will come handy. There
are many low spots in the highways
that will be graded at once and COW
cred with gravel.
The commissioners have invited the
165 township supervisors of the Ward
county to meet here June 13 to con-
slider road building and these trucks
will be used in a parade that day. 1t
is believed that all of the supervis-
ors can be piled on the thirteen trucks
that have already been turned over
to the county.
The commissioners are considering
hiring the Curling rink for Garage
for the summer.
There are hundreds more of these
trucks at Fort Lincoln that will be
distributed to the various counties of
North Dakota. All of them were bot
by the government for war purposes
but had never been shipped across
the Atlantic
The commissioners sent one of the
army trucks recently received out
along the poor farm today, with two
drags to put the road in shape.
