Ex-Governor Frank B. Willis of Ohio, in presenting the name of U. $. Senator Warren G. Harding to the republican na- tional convention at Chicago Friday as a candidate for the presidential nomna- tion thus sketched the career of MT. Harding, who later was nominated by the convention:
 Warren G. Harding has always been a resident of Ohio, which state he has rep resented as United States senator since 1914 In private business life he is pub fisher of the Marion, Ohio, Star.
 He was born on a farm. near the vil- 1age of Blooming Grove, Morrow county, Ohio Nov. 2, 1865, the eldest of eight children. His father, George T. Harding, was a country doctor whose forbears came from Scotland Before going to Ohio, the Hardings were residents of Pennsylyania, where some of them were massacred by Indians. Others fought in the Revolutionary war. The mother Of Warren, Mrs. Phoebe Dickerson. was de scended from an old-time Holland Dutch family, the Van Kirks
 In his youth Warren Harding lived the life of farmer boy, attending the vil- lage school until l f years of age, when he entered Ohio Central college of Iberia. from which he was graduated. As editor of the college paper he first displayed a talent for journalism. He was obliged to stop school now and then and earn the money with which to pursue his col lege course. At one time he cut corn, at another painted barns and at still an- other drove a team and helped to grade the roadbed of a new railway At IT he taught district school and played a horn in the village brass band.
 At odd times he worked in the village printing office, in time becoming an ex- pert typesetter and later a linotype op- orator. He is a practical pressman and a job printer, and as make up man" is said to have few equals. The luck piece he has carried as a senator is the old printers rule he used when he was sticking type.
 In 1884 Dr Harding moved his family to Marion. A short time afterward the father purchased for Warren Harding the Star, then small paper. On the paper Warren Harding performed every func- ton from devil to managing editor. In all the years the senator has owned it ] there has never been a strike or a threatened one.

He is director of bank and sev- oral large manufacturing plants and is a 1 trustee of the Trinity Baptist church. | Mir. Harding has twice represented the | Thirteenth senatorial district of Ohio ir ] lhe state legislature and served one tern as lieutenant governor. At the 1914 election Harding was elected United

and not of men,
 Just to do his duty well has been his life's characteristic. None has been too small for his painstaking, conscientious care; none has arisen too large for his ability or his courage. I believe there is no burden or honor you can place on him of which he is not worthy.s--s.-.-sss,sssss
 "A boyhood on a lonely farm in Yer mont bred him in industry, frugality, self reliance. The granite hills seemed to have moulded his grave. indomitable character. Family self-denial gave him college education at Amherst to broaden his native talents. Then he practiced law But his neighbors soon recognized the value of this quiet, sagacious man, and drafted him into the public service, and he glided from one useful station to an- other till he reached the h;Shest office of our state. He is not showy or spectacular but he never disappoints. The limelight attracts him less than tho midnight oil No audience ever fail to listen to his weighty sentences and when they go away they vote as he has talked. A poor man, living in the most frugal simplicity he always had the confidence and support -of the working people, yet rich and poor are to him alike equal before the law. He never crooks the pregnant hinges of the knee before pretentious power, nor
 
 weakness; but he holds the even tenor of his upright way, following his polestar of duty.
 Would it not be a restful change to | see such man in the White House to- day? His straightforward personality would clear the murky atmosphere Of Washington like a bracing northern breeze. We have been fed long enough on glittering rhetoric and extrayagant | novelties and rafnbow-tinted dreams We | need an era of hard sense and old free dom. We need to reinvigorate the homely | orderly virtues which have made America | great.
 Do you demand for your candidate a man of natiJe ability? Take him who, an | unknown country lawyer, won the conf 1 dence of the legislature in his first term. | Do you want profound political thinker l Take the author of that inspiring volume. 1 Have Faith in Massachusetts, Do YOU | want courage?

Fight Brewing in the A. E. of 1. Convention
On Debate of Resolutions De- manding Recognition of the Soviet Government of Rus sia.

Montreal, June 13.-Labor leaders predicted tonight that the first big fight on the floor of the convention of the American Federation of Labor, now in session here, would come upon the pres entatlon for debate of resolutions de- manding recognition of the soviet gov ernment of Russia and the lifting of the blockade against that country.
 The committee considering these reso- lutlons, 1t was learned tonight, will rec ommend that the convention refuse to endorse the Soviet government or any other form of government in Russia un- Ill the people there have established "a truly democratic form of government"
 The 'progressives" headed by James Duncan of Seattle, are prepared to wage bitter fight on the floor for recogni- ton of the soviets. They will be sup ported, he said, by the International La- dles' Garment Workers of New York and several other international unions.
 One of the resolutions presented by the garment workers asserts Russia has thrown off it's "millenial oppression and the old czarist government, as we'll as the oligarchy of the capitalist class" and asks the federation to request the United States government to officially recognize the Russian soviet as the "only true ex- pression of the will of the Russian peo- ple."
 MT. Duncan, in a resolution presented in behalf of the Seattle Central Labor Council asks that the government "exert its best inuflence to the end that Japan csc and all other foreign troops be i'm mediately withdrawn from the territory of the former Russian empire'' and that the commercial blockade be lifted. One of the first matters to come before the delegates will be the executive coun- cirs report which states that notwith- standing the needs of the masses of our country, congress failed to enact a sin gle constructive measure that would aid in checking profteering."
 Alexander Howatt, president of the
 Rnsas Mine Workers organization, an- nounced tonight that he will fight for the
 adoption of his resolution conforming the ansas industrial court.
 Frank Morrison, secretary of the fed eration and Patrick J. Moran, president of the International Bridge and Struc- tural Iron Workers Union, were made chiefs" today by Iroquois Indian union l members at Caughnawaga, an Indian village on the outskirts of Montreal The Indians gave a big fete in honor of the l labor leaders.

CAREER OF COOLIDGE OUTLINED
 BY GILLETT IN NOMINATION

Characterizing Governor Calvin Cool idge of Massachusetts (who Saturday was chosen nominee for vice president) as a man who believes that obedience to law is liberty and that this is a government of laws and not of men, Congressman Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts placed the name of the governor of his state in nomination for the presidency at the republican national convention in Chicago Friday. \
 Speaker Gillett told the republican dele gates that the placing of such a man as Governor Coolidge in the presidential chair would clear the murky atmosphere of Washington like a bracing northern breeze. He is as patient as Lincoln, ,' Congressman Gillett said, silent as Grant, diplomatic as Mckinley, with the political instinct of Roosevelt
 Congressman GillettS speech follows.
 "A year ago hardly a man outside of New Englnad knew who was governor of Massachusetts. Today every klan and woman in this vast audience, every lover of ordered liberty in the United States knows and rejoices that the governor of Massachusetts is Calvin Coolidge.
 "Opportunity-which knocks once at every mans door-came to him and found him waiting her summons, calm, courage ous, resolute to do his duty though the heavens fall. And he did it so well. he met his great opportunity with so master. full spirit as to send a thrill of admira- tion through every community in the land and every honest man felt safer because there was such a governor as Coolidge
 Isn't that the type of man you want for president today? Nominate him and you rally behind him that underlying devotion to our public security, that faith in our republican institutions which when once aroused is overpowering and irresist- ible. He is supported by no special class or interest, but he attracts all those who believe that obedience to law. is liberty, who wish this to be a government of laws
