here a messenger went TO the home
of the Presidents father. DR.. Hard

Churches were notified and bells

One of the first towns notified Of
the death of the President was Gale
donia, where Mr.. Harding spent his
early boyhood.
Other towns in the country were
notified by telephone.
AT the Marion Club, where the
President always visited on his trips
home. the news was received with
profound silence. 1t was here notabl
during the front porch" campaign of
1920. Members of the club were most
prominent in the entertainment of
delegations during 1920 and gave
their time and money to further the
interests of the late chief executive.
1t is the members of this club that
were perhaps the closest to Mr.. Hard
ing, as many os them were his boy
hood companions.

service and made possible the crea-
tion of the great American army over
seas. The amendment. known as the
Roosevelt amendment to the military
bill for the enlargement of the forces
for the world war. authorized the
President to create not more than two
divisions of volunteers for immediate
service in France.
The acquaintanceship. begun in fact
in 1915. between Roosevelt and Hard
ing, had ripened in the last year OF
the colonefs life into strong friend
ship. Particularly during the last year
il was known by many of the SEN
ator's close friends that Roosevelt
frequently talked with Harding about
the possibilities of the latter's candi-
dacy for President.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt. jr.. son OF
the former President, and the other
members of his immediate family
were strong supporters of Senator
Harding during the campaign Of
1920.
ForcefuI as a Speaker.
AS a public speaker Mr.. Harding
always was pleasing and at the same
time forceful. To begin with, his ap-
pearance was all that could be de-
sired for a man on the platform. His
voice was deep and rich and mellow
and had remarkable carrying power
Although he was entirely void of any
thing bearing on the theatrical, he
was impressive and his winning man
. ner assured him a hearing and
large, appreciative audience at all
times.
In the world of politics. as in the
business world. he always was a con-
ciliator. He had the ability to bring
together opposing factions to marked
degree. He was charged with being
a conservative-if that be a crime.
But he was a conservative with pro-
gressive ideas. In the Senate he lined
up with the party organization. He
was a member of many of the i'm
portant committees of that body, in
cluding the foreign relations commit
tee. with which he sat during its
deliberations concerning the peace
treaty with Germany
Likened to Mckinley.
In many respects Mr.. Harding re-
sembled that other son Of Ohio
William Mckinley. Both were of
Scottish descent and possessed char
acteristics that were similar. In
presence, in manner of speech. in
ability to Judge men. in careful.
painstaking mastery of detail and
| tact in bringing together opposing
factions on some common ground.
there was q remarkable similarity.
Mr.. Harding was, frst of all, a.
patriot. He believed in America, in
it's form Of government, and always
expressed pride in his country's past
and hope for it's future. He always
contended that our obligation is to
our own, and that the problems which
vitality concern US are domestic and
not foreign.
He had at all times the courage Of
his conviction, even though his stand
should engender serious opposition.
He WAS one Of the early advocates OF
preparedness. and he spoke ardently
