You may take this second payment and you will receive votes the same as if the payments had all been made at one time For example: Suppose your friend gave you a three months subscrip- tion to the daily and Sunday by car rier for three months, for that sub scription you collected $2.55 and re- ceive 2,000 votes. Now, if you can get this party to extend his sub scription for three months longer, making six months in all, for the second three months you will receive 4,000 votes, making 6,000 in all. Or suppose a subscriber had already paid you $5 for six months, if you now get this same subscriber to make another payment for six months, $5, for this second payment you will re- ceive 5000 votes, making 15, 900 votes in all you have received for this years subscription.

HARDING BELIEVED
IN DIVINE GUIDANCE
IN OFFICIAL ACTS
Told Friends He Felt a
Conscious Spiritual In
fluence Over Him.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
Aboard the s. S. Leviathan, Aug.
1O.-As Harding passes on he leaves
behind a hitherto untold conception
of the presidency. He believed that
American Presidents frequently are
under Divine guidance. Recently he
told friends that he felt conscious
spiritual influence in his actions.
Returning on the Leviathan are
many who knew Harding intimately.
One of them relates a conversation
held before the western trip, at the
White House. Callers had said that
Lincoln often gave the impression of
being Divinely inspired and that
Harding's .intuitional decisions on be-
wildering matters and his constant
reference to divinity in speeches
were similarly buttreSsed by the con-
viction that God was pointing out
the right course.
Have You been conscious of that?"
was asked of the President.
"Yes, / have thought about it
great deal" was his reply. II have
often thought it was fated by n High
or Power that Mt particular time
with the world in ferment, man of
my type should be chosen to sit in
this chair--a man of limited talents
from n small town to help America
to keep in the middle road. Often
times as | sit here l don't seem TO
grasp every moment that | am Presi-
dent. 1t does not seem to be with
me every second. 1 believe there is
some Divine guidance that keeps o
man from being overwhelmed with
the realization of the constant re-
sponsibility yet able to decide for the
apparent best interests of one hundred
millions of people,
Harding's friends believe that in
the last few months his religious
fervor was one of the most notable
things in his life. He was gradually
preparing for religious revival in
America. Today it is interesting to
recall, in this connection his speech
at Helena:
mankind has never stood more
in need than it does now of the con-
solutions and reassurances which are
derived from firm religious faith.
We must not let our engrossment
with things of matter and of mind
distract us from n proper coRcern
for these which are of the spirit and
the SOUL"
Travelling toward the American
s. IRE today are many who could not
get ship soon enough after hearing
the news of Harding's death TO at
tend his funeral. Albert ID. Lasker,
former chairman Of the United States
Shipping Board and James J. Davis,
secretary of labor, both are going i'm
mediately to Marion Monday to lay
a wreath on the grave of their late
chieftain. Memorial services will be
held aboard today simultaneously
with those at Marion. Reed Smoot
of Utah, representing the United
States Senate; Martin b. Madden of
Illinois representing the House of
Representatives and Secretary Davis
representing the cabinet, viii speak
with Lasker presiding. Miss Helen
Slower of Dayton will sing LEAD
Kindly Light" The ship will be
stopped in midocean for five minutes
as the passengers and crew pay tri-
| bute>to the President whose name al
ways will be first associated with the
growth of the American merchant
| marine.
