paper, converting the ons-time farm
ing town into an important manufac-
turing city.
Harding's ability to "talk on his
feet" probably led to his entrance into
politics, although as owner and editor
of q successful paper in Ohio he would
have had political influence In any
event. He aligned himself with the
Republican party even before he was
voter and soon became member of
the Republican county committee at
the meeting of which he was regular
attendant. He made his first political
speech in the early COS in the hamlet
of Martel, near Marion. His second
speech at Scottstown so pleased an old
Lincoln Republican that the veteran
rushed up to him and said: young
man, you have the gift of CAB. Keep
it up and some day you'll be president
of the United States.
This not unusual but infrequently
fulfilled prediction indicated at least
and appreciative aditor and there were
many who praised the young campaign
speaker. His oratory attracted the at
tention of the state Republican leaders
and soon he found himself billed to
speak with Mckinley, Foraker and
,ther notables. Thus developed Har-
ling's close friendship for Mckinley,
lis predecessor in the White House, to
whom he has been so often likened.

SIDELIGHTS ON
PRESIDENT HARDING

Warren Harding was distinctly a
farm boy. He helped in the clearing
and cultivation OF the land, and
learned to fell trees. chop wood, split
rails and plant and hoe corn. In the
winter he had chores to do before and
after school. He grew up strong of
body and sunny of disposition. AT the
age of ID he entered Ohio Control Col
lege, a school of the academy grade,
at Iberia, Ohio. At intervals he stop-
ped school to earn money to continue
and all his vacations were devoted to
earning money. He cut corn, painted
barn, drove team for a contractor
grading the roadhed of the Tooele &
Ohio Central railway, and taught a
district school. One summer he raised
eighteen bushels of wheat on half an
acre of ground which his father cave
him. During this period he played an
alto horn in the Iberia brass band. but
this was for recreation rather than for
pay.
More important in its influence on
his later career, he learned to set tvpe |
and acquired his first contact with !
newspaper work. When president
