IS a printers rule, carried In MS

close friends say he would rather
set a stick of type any day than
grant an audience to an ambassa-
dor.
For more than thirty years Mr..
Harding's bread and butter has
been earned by the Marion star,
whose responsibilities he assumed
under heavy mortgage and whose
early years he nourished at the ex-
pense OF going hungry more than
once himself.

fifty fifth birthday. and all the inter-

The new Presidents mother has
been dead for many years and his
fathev is remarked.
Young Harding attended college
at Iberia, O., and then tried school
teaching for a year before he be-
gan his newspaper career.
Although it was a pioneer news
paper age, Mr.. Harding's mind ran
to progressive notions even IN the
day when the Star still was a liabil-
ity. He broke with his first partner
over the question of installing a
telephone in the newspaper office, a
proposal which the partner held to
be impractical. extravagant and
revolutionary.
Three times before he has held
public Office. He served in the Ohio
legislature and as lieutenant gov

he ives elected to the United states
senate where he became a member
of the Foreign Relations Committee.
In 1916 he was chairman of the
Republican national convention.
In personal appearance the new
President is a man to attract a Sec

his two hundred and ten pounds
without a hint OF obesity, although
he is not quite six feet tall; and his
massive features round out an i'm

Wilson Leaves White

The second Democratic President

him through the range of human
emotions. He was almost blindly
idolized and cordially hated. Pro-
found peace, the most terrible OF
wars. death of a wife and helpmate.

lingering illness all came in turn to
darken his days. Eigst years OF 1t
whitened his hair: racked his frame
and impaired his physical vigor. but
did not rust his mind.
Characterized by his friends as
much a wounded veteran of the
World war as If he had been shot
n battle. he goes back to private
life today regarded by his p~artisans
as a living sacrifice to his ideals.
Once. in the midst of his seige of
prostration which accompanied the
irst stages of his present Illness. he
debated with himself whether he
ought not to r~elinquish his office
and give way to a ~uccessor. Later
when health had improved and the
Democratic convention at San Fran

to agree on a Presidential nom :

President Harding walks slowly
talks slowly. and makes UT his mind
slowly: but he gives the impression
of polished elaboration rather than
OF over caution or abashment.
As an orator Mr.. Harding never
has rated himself as witty or elo-
quent, though he attained consider
able success a few years ago on the
Chautauqua platform.
He never gives the impression of
stilted dignity. He likes to know
men well enough to call them by
their first names and to slap them
on the back when he meets them.
He likes to shake hands and make
conversation about the weather and
the crops, and when he does he us

retiring secretary of state, the ret!r-

came as a surprise to all Washing

hat for the next few months at
least he would go in for a life of rest
and recreation and then probably
pursue, in some unannounced way,
his work for world peace. 1t was
thought, too, that the outgoing
President would take up the bust
ness of literature where he left of
when he quit the presidency of
Princeton University TO enter poll
tics and become governor Of New
Jersey.
Frail in health with his body
racked by eighteen months OF illness
it had been supposed by Mr.. VIII

nothing else than rest. But Rear

af1airS.
BY intellectual preference Vice
President Coolidge has since early
youth demonstrated a taste for
problems of s~tatecraft.
1t was this intensive study OF af-
fairs of state that first attracted TO
him tie attention of prominent Re
publican leaders notably the late
Senator w. Murray Crane of Mas
sachusetts. For a number of years
these watched the development OF
his career with a view to directing
lim into the national political arena.
Their opportunity came when the
spectacular Boston police strike,
during his first term as governor,
attracted nationwide attention.
The crisis which was precipitated
by the strike, according to those
friends, merely revealed the pow
ers and courage OF the man, and they
frankly and openly seized the oppor-
tunity to press for him claims for
the Republican Presidential nom
nation at Chicago last June. They
pointed out that as councillor n his
me city and later as city solicitor
and mayor, as a or both
branches OF the legislature includ
ing a term as president OF the sem
ate and then as lieutenant-gover-
nor and finally as governor he had
been elected with ever increasing
majorities eliminating in the vote
of confidence after the police strike
when he was again elected governor
by a plurality of 10000.
Probably the most attractive part
of Mr.. Coolidge is his home life.
Ever since his marriage, fifteen
years ago. to Miss Grace Goodhue.
of Burlington, VT. a University OF
Vermont graduate. whom he met
as a school teacher in Northampton.
he has lived in quiet. modest life,
most Of the time in the shadow of
Smith college in a house which he
has rented for $3.50 a month.

Coolidge Strange Figure
In Public Life; Shuns
Spotlight and Glamor

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Calvln
Coolidge is the first Massachusetts,
man to hold the office of vice presi-
dent since Henry Wilson served in
the second Grant administration
nearly half a century ago. His ad-
vent into Office adds to the promi-
nence of his state in national gov
eminent affairs for it is regarded
as almost certain that Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge. will be again
chosen as Republican leader in the
Senate. and Representative Freder-
lex H. Gillett, as speaker OF the
House.
should Mr.. Gillett succeed himself,
a Massachusetts man will preside
each branch of congress, a most
unusual coincidence. More unusual
still is the fact that both Mr. Cool
idge and Mr.. Gillett come from h
same congressional district, North
ampton. the home of the vice presi-
dent.
Vice President Coolidge is enter
ing upon his first service in the field
OF national politics. but for twenty
years he has been active in n poll
teal service OF his state. rising from
membership in the council of his
city to governor of the common
wealth.
In some respects Mr.. Coolidge is a
figure strange in American public
life, being taciturn to a degree and
apparently stunning the spot light
and the glamor which usually sur
rounds high public officials. To his
most intimate friends he is known as
Silent Cal"
But after all, holding public Of
fee comes naturally enough to the
new vice president. For generations
ever since his forebears settled in
Watertown. Mass. in 1880. and later
went TO the rough, backwoods Sec

lily has been identified with public
