president HARDING is dead, and
L all the nation is in mourning. In
deed, all the world mourns with US,
for all the world recognized the truly
great qualities of the man and held
him in the highest esteem.
Death came at 7:30 o'clock Thurs
day evening in the Palace hotel, San
Francisco, with a suddenness that was
stunning. The Presidents physicians
had been announcing to the country
that he was well on the road to recov-
cry, though they admitted the process
of eonvalescence would be slow nearly
all the members of his party were
scattered, only Mrs. Harding, who sell
dom had left his side, and two nurses
being in the sick room. The devoted
wife had been reading aloud. One of
the nurses remarked, Doesn't he look
fne?' As they turned to look at him
again a shudder went through his
frame and in a few moments, without
having spoken a word, he passed away.
Death was due to a stroke of cerebral
a%poplexy.
Ten minutes before midnight Calvin
Coolidge was notified of the death of
Mr.. Harding and Of his own elevation
from the office of vice president to
that of president. He was visiting at
the home of his father in Plymouth,
Vt. where he was born on July 4, 1872.
The oath of Office was administered
10 him at 2:47 Friday morning by his
father, who is a notary public, and he
FASTENED to Washington. Edward T.
Clarke, his secretary, was in the ma
tional capital and he 1t was who sent
the news TO Mr.. Coolidge, The only
members of the cabinet in Washington
at the time were Secretary of State
Hughes and Postmaster General New.
Secretaries Mellon of the treasury and
Davis of labor are in Europe and 9th
ers of the cabinet were in the Far
West. All the members of the eabi-
net, following established procedure,
offered their designations to the new
President. He asked them all to re-
tain Office.
President Coolidge's first statement
was:
Reports have reached me, which
I fear are correct, that President Hard
ing is gone. The world has lost a
great and good man. I mourn his
loss, He was my chief and my friend.
1t will be my purpose to carry out the
policies which he has begun for the
service of the American people and
for meeting their responsibilities wher-
ever they may arise.
For this purpose, I shall seek the
cooperation of all those who have
been associated with the President
during his term Of office. Those who
have given their efforts to assist him
I wish to remain in office, that they
may assist me.
II have faith that God will direct
the destinies of u nation"
