 controversies, it may be recorued that
 .nere isn't a possibility that Senator Warren C.. Harding of Ohio, the repupli- can nominee for pres. dent, will have more loyal admrer in this city than
 Editor George l.. Padgett of the Wind
 ham County Observer, democratic mem
 Der of the Putnam common council. It happens that Senator Harding and
 Editor.

 a good president
