 BOTHERED ABOUT "A
Secretary Davis Says President Is Content to Do His Work Now
IS POOR SELF ADVERTISER
Labor Member of Cabinet Contends That President Is Accomplishing Much in His Quiet Way, Without Accompaniment of Brass Band

Boston, April 2.--President Hard ing is mot bothering his head over much about the politics of 1924 publican club of Boston in a speech here today. The presidents secre- tary of labor, after expressing his views on wonan's place in politics, discussed MT. Harding's attitude to- ward the forthcoming presidential campaign.
 "I'he presidents plans seem to be worrying many of our people," Sec retary Davis said. I think that every newspaperman I have talked to for the past month or more has want ed to know what they are. Well I'll tell you something about the president.
 Is Poor Advertiser.
 President Harding is probably the poorest advertiser in the United States today. The smallest corner grocer in Boston could undoubtedly give him big handicap and then beat him at the game of getting him self "sold" as they call it, to the pub llC. IIll6 IS lOl tuc Illit Ol our OlU and respected friend Theodore Roose- welt who had the faculty of letting folks know what he was doing, and how fast he was doing it. President Harding reminds me of the man who was made boss of the mill back in the days when I worked with my hands. This mill worker was a man that nobody had even noticed. He never had been engaged in any of the ordinary disputes about the plant. But the quiet man got the job. And we found out why. He worked at his job. He did not talk about it. We'll that is President Harding. He works at his job. He doesn't talk about it.
 Works Very Hard.
 President Harding is an indefa- ,igable worker and he accompishes tremendous results. He is plain ousiness-like individual with gen us for stabilizing things. He is not he man to do his work tos the tune If q hFass band. I have A1en urged i'm to let the people know the seri- ,usness of the task confronting him md the steps he has taken and is aking to perform them, for know omething of the value of publicity. | But he has insisted that the work will peak for itself, and the people will 1 nd the things out. When I have 1 ought to point out that there is a of 1924 coming. and that a tile advertising for the administra.- T .l 1,r Ia 1.., %zl T l le that he is not show man, not a tage director. He holds that today ne best politics is service to the eople.
 Not Worrying Over 1921.
 Just between you and me, Presi- ent Harding is not bothering his cad over-much about the politics Of a24. He is spending his time work g for the people of the United States day, tomorrow and 100 years from ,w." The country's economic recovery , lring the present administration, the cretary said, has no precedent in , story. Within few months the ,tion has emerged from industrial Id financial panic to prosperity he , i'd, with indications of prosperity on cry hand. Discussing the position of women in litics the secretary said;
 Women in Politics. .I am one of those who find great nsolation for the present a great \ ne for the future in the advent of F American women into the poiti- life through the exercise of the f cht of suffrage I am one of those f 10 believes that women in politics } cans bette rpolitics and women will \ ing into public life those virtues \ at they have so long displayed in \ nerican home life.'
