Senator Harding's pas,os. n. "a
day Rev. Martin was asked iu,, %
he is 50 enthusiastic sbou, g..
Harding, and this is what he s.n.
1T is a peculiar pleasure IA, -
continue the work which I s.
twenty five years ago. # w,'
privilege to stand On the slda ~
and boost for Senator HARDING rs -'
he received his first nominate, y
public office When he was c.,s
date for the senate | was yisltlD, 4
Ohio and had the pleasure Of bess
ing for him. 1t Is, therefore a rs~
lar pleasure TO join with this bs.s
Of Minnesota boosters IN seeklr, =
put Senator Harding over, IN A.
greatest gift within the power a. A,
people. Being a clergyman. 7 h,-
been constantly asked BY nv frirs
at the college commencement In ma
igan, In Chicago and in Minnesota VI /
| am such persistent booster b
Mr.. Harding, and have been ASH !
10 state In this presence my reason
for doing so. These are three:
THE first pertains 10 certain d. Z
ments of his character. 7 will glyerr
these as l received them while VIZ
pastor Of the Baptist Church in a
city, of which Mr.. Harding Is amer
Der. | asked him and a group Of Ohg
men 10 make some Sunday evening
addresses. 1 do not remember nva
that Senator Harding said at that
time, but ! do remember very distinct.
y the words with which be closed
his address and which have stood all
hese years as outstanding elements
If his character to me. He closed The \
address by a quotation from tisNM q
'hets, in which be said And what
10th the Lord thy God require Of thea
ut 10 DO justly and love mercy and
ak humbly with thy Coo Justice
lercy, kindness ard humility have
all these years stood as foremost
characteristics of Mr.. Hardings life
laracteristics which are always at
active and make a mans life worth
lille.
THE second reason Is because | be-
eve that there is focused In hlm the
ST traditions, ideals and purposes OF
e great Republican party and so Pc
liarly DIT him to be their leader %
is great crisis of the nations life. |
e the word leader advisedly, for u
leadership that we are needing ana
I arbitrary, dictatorial, autoeraiN
lie. We have had enough of that
boss Is desired there would De ~
ed for making any change, for tne
IS that we have Is the bossieX
The third reason is because 0Rd
him no trace of radiealsm. To mo
Iicalism is the greatest danger thaI
have to face. Our interests are 100
erse to admit Of anything OF ina!
Iracter. We have our agricaiturai
up with its interests. We have Tue
or group withlts interests. we nave
financial interests. We have tAs'
er great group known as the pup
that has always been MADE 'ns
IT, with its interests. All OF THESE
OF vital interest to the commos
i and believe that Senator Hara'
is broad enough and sympatheuS
ugh so that the interests OF eaea
be blended In the common lntcres'
Ill, and all will be perfectly sai'
er his leadership"
