Instance But read this opening SEN
tence of an address which Senator
Harding delivered to the reprcsen-
,atiycs OF the powerful national bu-
reau Of farm organizations. on a re-
cent occasion. Said he;
80 Appeal to Glass.
Il will not welcome you as repre-
ssnia.ives Of farmers organizations,
and I shall make no appeal, either
nnw or later. to the people OF this
coun,ry which may be labeled an
snneal In behalf OF farmers. Per-

Won as PRODUCERS whose American
ism is 80 sound that | may and do
consider that you represent here to-
day the consumers OF the United
states, and address you not as farm
ors but as patriotic citizens OF the
United States.
let Il be admitted that there was
momnntary start on the part OF
some Of the represe ntativo agricul-
turists there, so accustomed TO being
addressed as a class apart when the
Senator uttered that sentiment. But
The reaction came Immediately pf-
terward in a hearty burst Of APP
plause.
Again, In his address on Labor
Day, to throng which was made up
almost exclusively of workingmep,
In even, level tones, and looking
frankly into the faces Of his audi
tors. he said
81 wish It distinctly noted that L
shall say nothing to one group OF fei-
low citizens which | could not as
cordially utter to another. And while
address you as a typical assom- E
bage OF American laborers, l am
thinking Of Industrial America, that
Industrial America in which every
one Of our hundred millions In deep

terest to our people as a whole
Burst OF Cheering.
And again, those who stopd by OBJ
serving, noted that curious catch of
surprise, followed instantly by the
burst Of genuine cheering.
Neither farmer nor laboring man,
YOU sec, has been accustomed In the
past, TO an approach from a candi-
date for office on so frank and so
broad basis. There has even been
some expression OF doubt as TO the
'expedlcncy" Of this policy, of sin-
eerity from some which Roosevelt
used to describe as 'Timid little gem
uemen who were, afraid the wicked
work,nemJn would bite them" But
sHpediency' isn't pa:t OF the
Harding method.
Il want you TO understand me

marks to farmers and workingmen
