After outlining the career of the |
late president, Mr.. Smith said:
Mr.. Harding's great desire was
to learn from the people direct their |
needs and aspirations in order that he |
might better fulfill the duties of his |
high office, and in order to accom-
plish this he was willing to endure /
any amount of discomforts.
The long journey across the
country through the heat, dust and
CRIME incident to travel, and the ex-
acting demands on his time and
strength In order to comply with the
arrangements of reception commit
tees. doubtless undermined his vi
tally and made him an easy prey for
the ailment which proved fatal. He
literally sacrificed his life for his
country.
President Harding's mother was a
strongly religious woman and wished
her son, Warren, to be preacher AL ,
though her ambition was not real ,
lied, her religious training of her ,
son Influenced him to such an extent !
that he possessed in a marked degree Z
all the Christian virtues which were /,
