Vice President Compares
Him to Mckinley at
dwelling Of Bust.

UnVelllng OF Bust.
Niles. Ohio. June 1s.-President
Harding's attitude in pacifying
Europe has been far greater in
luence than is yet realized, not
through entanglements but by
holding to that strictly American
policy, SO we'll expressed in the
dispatches to foreign governments.
Vice President Calvin Coolidge
told an audience at the unwilling
of a bust Of President Warren G.
Harding here today.
Pleads for Patience.
The vice president pleaded for
patience. pacification, and harmony
under righteousness in solving the
problems of reconstruction, and
asked his hearers to hallow the
memory Of Mckinley who SO
greatly desired them in the past
by supporting the leadership Of
his fellow statesman, the present
chief executive, who is SO effec-
lively establishing them in the
present"
Men are influenced by their en-
vironment, the vice president said,
and asserted that the section where
he was q visitor. settled by the
stock that fought the Revolution
and bequeathed q continent to
freedom, breathed the very spiri,
of America.
Men Loved Mckinley.
From this blood, from these
surroundings, came the great
American to whom this stately me-
mortal was reared" he said. There
is that in. the present condition Of
i our country which admonishes vi
to remember william Mckinley
Ha was wiser than his critics. HI
was gentler than his friends. HI
was firmer than his party. Hs
/ found the nation depressed, anf
distraught, he brought it prosper
ity and contentment He led tht
people not from afar off, where
his influence could not be felt, bu
from near at hand, declining thu
course, but yet with them. 1t il
little wonder that men loved him
"He was the first to recognise
that the Spanish war had made VI
a world power with world respon
sibilities.
.America Goes Forward"
| Nations do not stand still. The!
advance or they recede. Americs
goes forward. Your hope is beinl
realized, your faith is being justi
flied. As there have COM
those who have been raised up Il

| SO they come now, so the.
will come. In those who hav'
been honored here, in him who to
day is honored, this promis'
stands fulfilled. And what
grand fulfillment in William Nc
Kinley and Warren G. Harding"
The vice president then paid
tribute to President Harding. as

, that made Mckinley so beloved.
