Harding Decides to Tackle
Democrats in Their Stronghold

Having established himself successful
editor and publisher. political leaders of the
county and State began to recognize in War
Harding valuable party timber He
had declared himself unqualifiedly Repub-
lean He was urged by party powers to
try for office, the berth selected being State
Senator This was no mean goal in county
almost solidly Democratic, but he promised
to consider the matter
There was a conference between the Har-
ding partners husband and wife. Warren
Harding announced himself candidate for
the office. Florence Harding entered into
the fight with all the enthusiasm and
ardor of her intense nature. She cam
pagned with and for him. She managed
the practical part Of the campaign, leaving
her chosen candidate free to expound his
principles and his ideals. Her pride in and
Joy over his first election is still remem-
1ered in the home town.
If there was a drop OF bitterness in her
cup Of success by reason of the continued
III will and opposition of Amos King she
gave no sign. She had abundantly justifi ed
her defiance of the parental objection She
had proved to her father beyond all cavil
the affection of herself and the penniless
young law student was the one big love
which comes into the life of man and a
woman. She had shown him that the more
we are opinonated the less able we are to
plumb the depths of truth and right.

Her Keen Judgment Commands
Husbands Implicit Confidence

Her ability to "size up a situation at a
glance" is best illustrated by the attitude
OF Mr. Harding, who places implicit conf
dence in his wifes judgment. Those who
have come in contact with the President
elect 10 any apprecabe extent will recall
him saying on more than one tight occa-
sion: I'll consult Mrs. Harding about that
and let you know or Better ask the

ding by her intimately. or Talk with my
wife: she will understand"

ambition Is to be the helpmate of her dis
tingulshed husband.
on a receht occasion, when newspaper
writer's beseged her for an interview. she
gracefully demurred. adding in no uncertain
tones: Mr. Harding gives out all the inter-
views for our family"
The Presdent-elect, however is only too
eager to place the crown OF accomplishment
on the head OF his mate. Shortly after his
nomination in Chicago, when the wonder of
the glory that had come into their lives
still dazzled the Senator from Ohio to blind
ing disbelief he turned to a group of home
town friends gathered about himself and
Mrs. Harding, saying: Whatever of honor
has come TO me this day / owe TO Florence"
Nonsense, Warren" objected his wife;

showed signs of the rapierlike quality which
has since made her distinguished and
welcome guest in the drawing rooms of the
mighty.
An early personal recollection of Mrs.
Harding visualiZes a slender woman of
marked vitality and spontaneous laughter
walking briskly down East Center street on
the arm of her tall, good looking husband.
They were on their way TO the offices of the
Marion Daily Star, where Florence Harding
occupied the position of business manager of
the newspaper edited and published by War

To understand fully the mutual trust. the

OF youth. And since our particular interest

consider the travelogue from her side Of the

back In the Ohio hills. was a little
girl who wore "a hair ribbons, tomboyed her
way valiantly through the games of child
hood and demonstrated her gift for leader
ship by being the only person in town to
guide bobsled down Gospel Hill without
dumping her precious load of human freight
in the snowdrifts along Cucaw Creek in the

The name of the little girl was Florence
King
To-day Florence King is Mrs. Warren G.
Harding. wife of the President-elect of the
United States. As the First Lady of the
Land hers will be an honor than which there
is none higher. She will represent American
womanhood in the White House.
What manner of woman is this daughter
of old Buckeye, destined to be written more
gloriously. we hope. than any First Lady
who has gone before into the pages of world
history?
What is she like?
What are her tastes?
Who are her friends?
What are her qualifications, her ambi-

How will she fit into the complications,

diplomacy which characterize life in a

Charming Personality Reflects
Her Many Sterling Traits
Let US begin with her appearance, her
personality, for it is by such she will be first
judged. Here is word picture fashioned
from the most recent observation:
Height medium.
Figure straight and slender.
Face, oval. with cheekbones well defined,
forehead broad chin rounded into lines of
determination.

REFUSED TO TAKE.
BOY sent { need
FROM THIS CITY
Head of State Industrial
School Objects to Lads
Presence in Institution

When a young fellow is accused of
\ crime. and pleads guilty to it. and
then is sentenced to the state indus
trial school and taken there, and the
institution refuses to accept him, and
he is brought back and taken into the
court from which he was sentenced,
and tho lawyers discuss several laws
which in a manner seem to conflict,
and then the defendant is taken back
to the county Jail to await another
( hearing more than a week in the fu-
ture; isn't that young fellow in a ter
rible fix?
A boy. more than seventeen years
old, was sent by Judge Park to the
state industrial school, following
guilty plea.
Deputy Sheriff George F. Harpster
took him to the institution and the
Institution refused to receipt for him
or to accept him. 1t seems there were
two reasons why the state industrial
school board refused; one that he was
not considered by them and the super
tintendent a proper person to asso-
ciate with the other boys, and the
other was that he is past II years of
tSEs anu ihtS diu Iol HtNt " dC,tpt
him.
There is state statute which says
such cases may be sent either to the
state retormatory or the Industrial
school, and there is another which says
IS the authorities of the industrial
school think the party would be men
acc to other inmates they may refuse
to accept him.
Judge Park wrote the full particulars
to Attorney General keyes, and that
official replied that Judge Park was
right in sentencing the boy to the in
stitution at Golden However the in
dustrial board adopted resolution in
this particular case. indorsing the ac-
tion of Superintendent Paddock in re-
fusing to accept him.
Tho defendant was hack in division
r court again yesterday, and was rep
resented as before. by Attorney B. D.
v. Reeve. After the matter had been
discussed by said attorney, the court
and the district attorney, 1t was de-
cided to postpone definite action on
the case until a week from tomorrow.
when the boy will again be brought
from the county Jail into court.
In the meantime. the attorneys and
the court will consider the various
phases OF tho peculiar case, including
that statute providing for the refusal
TO accept, which is quite broad in its
tenor.
