the Star out of business.
Starts on Political Career
The story is told of how, on one oc
| casion when Harding was attending a
political meeting in Chicago, the
sheriff took possession of the Star
property in the name of creditors.
Friends came to the assistance of the
young publisher and with a little
money that Harding had saved selling
insurance, they were able to salvage
the paper.
In 1898 the Star was free from all
Indebtedness and growing steadily
Harding's work had attracted the at
tention of Ohio republicans and in
1898 he was elected to the state SEN
ate In 1903 he was made lieuten-
ant governor of his state and in 1914
he, entered the United States senate,
where he served for six years.
At the Republican national conven-
ton in June, 1920, Harding was
chosen as the Republican candidate
and was elected president of the
United States on his 55th birthday.
He was the first United States sena-
tor to be made president.
Early in his years of political serv-
ice he met William Mckinley, to
whom his close friends have most
often likened him and with whom he
had in common predominant pas
sion for obliteration of class and sec
tional lines. A friendship sprang up
between the two men Mr. Harding
also was close i'll later days to Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Senators Foraker and !
Penrose and others high in his party |

Warren Hardings friends mas de-
'cribed him as "just a bundle of SEN

srieved constantly because he and
frs. Harding had none of their own
lie loved dogs, and said that there
vas only one man he had really hated
n all his life-the man had poisoned
dog.
For 10 years before she died, War

Tracks of a small automobile leadins

the sheriff said.
The murder of Lerma was reported
to the Bexar county sheriff shortly
after it had happened. According to
the report made to him Lerma and his
au-year-old mother were at home alone
Saturday night. the children of the
family having gone TO dance.

When the intruder departed he left

The Bexar county sheriff was noti-

Chief Deputy Alphonse Newton. who
detailed Deputies Diaz and Subira on
the case. Arriving on the scene the
officers found Lerma dead and his
aged mother in a state of collapse. Ly-

had attempted to bind him before
committing the crime.
