IN THE DAYS NOT 50 FAR BACK
WHEN HE DENOUNCED THE
I-jLL MOUslZtIS
INTERESTING READING FOR
THAT PATRIOTIC BAND
When the Now Presidential Nominee
patism and Rawfawm said Among
Other Choice Expressions That
Roosevelt Was "thc Leader Of the
Greatest Band of ShaipCts IN the
History of the Political Game"

great many people are not SO
much concerned in the fact that Sen
ator Harding owned stock in a brow
cry as they are interested in his atti-
tudo toward progressive men and
progressive measures.
In Ohio, before he was elected to
the senate, Mr.. Harding was a lieu-
tonant Of Joseph Benson Foraker and
friend and champion Of the famous
Boss" Cox of Cincinnati As senator
he has been a member oc the cotcrie
of reactionaries under the leadership
Of Boics Pcnrose, to whom he owes
his nomination.
Senator Harding is now busy hold
ing conferences with progressive re-
publican leaders, on whom he de-
ponds for help in ranying the pro-
gressive vote to his support and the
New York World has rendered a
timely service 10y showing. from the
files of his newspaper, the Marion
Daily star, what Senator Harding had
to say of the progressive party, its
leaders and its principles in the cam
paign OF 1912.
A single sentc2cc might suffice to
reveal his mind. on October 25,
1912, for example, Senator Harding s
paper-and he was then home end
editing it-Said:
"As a matter of fact the progres.
sivcs have demonstrated that they are
the greatest band Of sharpcrs in the
entire history Of the political game"
Toward Theodore Roosevelt Sena-
tor Harding was virulently bitter. Ills
paper compared Roosevelt to Benedict
Arnold and Aaron Burr and declared
he was utterly without conscience
and regard for truth and the greatest
! fakor of all time"
The St. Joseph observer., 1920-08-14
Some Choice Extracts

Here are a few extracts from edi-
toriais on Roosevelt appearing in
Senator Harding's paper, as exumed
by the World:
In seeking prototype for Colonel
Roosevelt among American public
men of the country, one finds the
closest resemblance 10 Aaron Burr.
The same towering ambitions, the
same overbeGrinG disposition and un-
governable temper, the same ruth
lessncss in disregarding the ties Of
friendship, gratitude and reverence,
the same tendency to bully and brow
beat and finally the same type of
cEotism and greed for power and the
same mental tendency generally"
His is not a constructive or con-
secutive mind. whatever he thinks
will listen good TO the electors he
happens TO be before is good enough
for the occasion. II called to account
later he unblushing!y denies he ever
made the statement which seems tC
have been unwise. sun Mr.. Roose-
welt has been wonderfully successful
in fooling most of the people all the
time, and sees no reason for believing
that he cannot keep on doing So"
"He has convicted himself of in
sincerity, Inconsistency, Inconsistency
