tell you one thing about business
The greatest business man in the
United States today is the President
1 speak from actual knowledge gained
in day spent with him in the White
House. He meets all issues squarely
There is no side-stepping. I feel that
we have never had in the White House
a man of such wide experience and Sc
capable to meet all the problems that
come before him. That fact, fairly
considered by all the business men of
the country, should bring them great
courage as to the future
Mr.. Wanamaker, a business man
himself, makes a point important for
all business men-and, for that mat
ter, everybody-to consider at this
time. With business in the dumps;
with all the pressing public questions
partaking of business; with the fact
that only through a revival
of business can the people hope for ga
happy issue out of all their afflic-
tions," it is of great moment that the
man occupying the White House
should have a thorough understand
ing of business and be in sympathy
with the best aims of those working
to business ends.
Mr.. Harding fills a large space
as successful politician and orator.
But he has also had distinct success
as a publisher. He put life into a
moribund country newspaper, and
built it up to exercise statewide in
fluence, and to assist in his promotion
to the highest office in the country.
He thus got an insight into business
methods and requirements, and has
pursued his studies in all the places he
mas held since.
Mr.. Wanamaker's point is well
taken, and should be widely consider
