sentence contained in it, together with the spirit
manifested by it. To say it is admirable address

masses. I" The trouble with Wilson was the
qualification of his ambition rather than service
to mankind. President Harding will do well to avoid
the breakers that have wrecked and forced into
moral bankruptcy his predecessor, and steer the
good old Ship of State into the halcyon harbor of
constitutional government and universal right. I"
