Shakes Hands With Many

| Shakes HANDS WIN many
AS soon as the Presidents car stop
ped and those anxiously waiting
J caught a glimpse of him, there was
a rush for the automobile. Secret
service men, stationed on either side
of the car, together with members OF
| the local police formed a line which
filed by the President. Babies in
the arms of proud parents, little boys
and girls young men and women ana
grown-ups all had the opportunity to
shake hands with the nations chleI
| executive. President Harding met
each one with a smile, addressing
most of the little girls as "Dearle
and the youngsters as SON. In the
case of babies whose hands were
small enough to be lost in the Presl-
dents hand-clasp he would plnch
their cheek and make some congra-
tulatory remark to the one holding
the child.
Several who had the foresight to
bring with them autograph albums
had the unusual privilege OF seeing
the President sign his name in their
books. His congenial smile made II
leasy to approach him and after shak-
ing his hand many waited until MS
! car boarded the boat in order TO
study his actions.
In the car Immediately behind the
Presidents was Mrs. Harding who
was kept as busy as her husband
shaking hands with everyone. she
was in a. sedan but the window was
down and with arm extended, she
greeted all, making various com
ments. The President drove in an
open touring car and wore cap
having discarded his straw hat for
the motor trip.
With the arrival of the ferry boat,
the cars went aboard, followed by
the usual traffic. Once on board the
boat. the President adjusted his
glasses and started to look over an
edition of the Perth Amboy Evening
News which had been given him at
the ferry.
Crowd to Sec President.
During the trip across the Sound
practically every passenger on the
boat surged out on the forward deck
in order to see the President. There
was no Misunderstanding during the trip
across he devoting his time to ask
ing and answering questions with
two Evening News reporters. A mu- :
sician had been playing during the
sail across the Sound and as he pass
ed his cup for donations he seemed
to be somewhat undecided of Wheth-
er or not to approach the President s
car. Seeing the mans undecided
position President Harding beckoned
to him and dropped 25 cents into the
cup, declaring: 1--WE have got to give
the musician something"
AS the ferry landed at the Tot
tenville slip there was another grand
rush for the car on the part of those
aboard, many more shaking hands
with him: He waved goodbye to all
as his car speeded up the hill on its
way to st. George where the party
took the municipal ferry Queens to
the battery.

President Harding and Party
on Way From Atlantic City
Spends IS Min. Here
SHAKES HANDS WITH MANY
Shows Great Interest in Chill
dren Who Paraded Down to
Terminal to Honor Him

Perth Amboy was given its first
opportunity to see President Hard
ing within its city limits for short
time yesterday afternoon when the
presidential party. on it's way by au-
tomobile from Atlantic City to New
York city, was forced to wait about
fifteen minutes for a ferry to take
it to Tottenville. Although nothing
definite was known until about 4:3O
o'clock in the afternoon as to when
the presidential party would arrive.
word of his coming spread quickly
and there were hundreds at the fer
nv to greet and shake hands with
him.
Shortly before O'Clock the first
car of the presidential party arrived
at the ferry, it containing the Presi-
dents golfing clubs and many bags
and suit cases. This automobile went
across on the ferry before the re-
mainder of the party arrived.
Children Honor President
Word of the Presidents coming
had reached Joseph F. Walker and
Paul Steele, in charge of the Junior
Chautauqua parade being held In
the afternoon, and the children were
taken down Smith street to welcome
the President.
The presidential party made a
stop at the New Packer House upon
arriving in the city, Senator and Mrs
Joseph f. Frelinghuysen leaving
the party here. Their own car
awaited them to take them to their
home at Raritan. The president
registered at the New Packer House
but did not remain more than a few
minutes.
Standing on the running board OF
his car which was drawn to the curh
before the Packer House, President
Harding addressed few words to
the school children of the city, who
costumed for the Chautauqua pa
rade, filled the road from sidewalk
to sidewalk, eager to hear what the
President had to say. Mr.. Harding
spoke quietly after the prolonged
ovation from the children, the mer
and the women.
No Fear for America
"As look into the faces of you
children" the President said, 81
| have no fear for the America of to-
morrow. / feel convinced that yol
will all do the right thing for you
country. and. regardless of origin
Mr.. Harding added. Il know tina
YOU are all loyal mericans." Th'
| President then assured the young
sters that he was heartily glad tc
| know them and after a few words
in a similar strain, was driven of
| amidst loud cheers, handclappine
and the waving of flags.
After speaking at the New Packer
| House the Presidents car escorted
on either side by Motorcycle Officers
| William Bachman and Frank Seiboth
continued down Smith street to the
| ferry. the other three cars in the
party following close behind. Police
| had been stationed at the ferry by
| Chief Niels J. Tonnesen to give the
| presidential party the right of way
and keep the. throng .out of the
| streets.
