TlUo Farm Boys Will

EVERETT SANDERS NEW SECRETARY TO PRESIDENT

CORN FIELDS OF INDIANA
nancial independence.

nancial independence.
Sanders father, Rev. James San
ders, was a farmer, when he was not
preaching in Indiana. The boy
worked-and worked hard en- the farm
until he was full grown. He got such
schooling as was possible in the in
tervals between plowing, sowing,
reapirg and ether farm work.
But he was ambitious. Finishing
the district school he managed to
scramble through the State Normal
school, taugh. school for three years
and then by waiting on tables and
other such menial work, he managed
to get a law education at the Uni
versity of Indiana, graduating in 1907
Then he took up the practice of law.
Finally he entered politics and
gained first state office as assistant
Attorney General of Indiana. Then
he aspired higher and finally entered
the race as representative of The
Fifth Indiana district and was elected
to congress. He served four terms in
Washington.
All Of his congressional colleagues
are for him. He was a regular ad-
miAistration man at all times and was
one Of Nick Longworth's most reli-
able heutenants.
He gained first national promi-
nence during the Cleveland convention
when after Lowden and Borah de-
clined to accept the vice-presidential
nomination, a boom was started fol
him. Senator Watson of Indiana, ar
aspirant for the presidential nomi-
nation, refused to sponsor the boom
80 finally as a compromise, Dawes
was nominated.
Everett Sanders was born near
lCoalmont, Ind, March 8, 1882. He
will celebrate his 43rd birthday, just
four days after the Inauguration Of
President Coolidge. He was married
to Miss Ella Neal of Terre Haute
Indiana, in 1908. Mr.. Sanders is
VERY popular in congressional circles
and already has a host of friends il

Washington, D. c., January 81
When Everett Sanders reports as pri-
vate secretary to President Coolidge
at the White House next Monday
morning, Feb. /, our nations affairs
will be in the hands of two former
farm boys.
President Coolidge from that bleak
New England farm near Plymouth
Notch, Vermont, and his secretary,
Everett Sanders, from the waving.
cornfields near Coalmont and Terre
Haute, Indiana.
Both boyhoOds were spent on the
farm in the hard work of sowing,
reaping and the many ether hard
rounds of long days, from before sun
up It'll after sundown. No doubt
many who read these lines now know
the farm day and the demands each
new dawn make. Perhaps they can
gain inspiration in knowing that Cal
win Coolidge and Everett Sanders
know from first hand contact all of
these labors, having struggled in
youth with the same exacting tasks.
The retirement of c. Bascum Slemp
as secretary to President Coolidge
and the selection of Everett Sanders
came as the result of Mr.. Slemp's re-
solve to get back to private business.
1t had been known for some time that
our first millionaire secretary to a
president was tired of his job since
things politically had failed to move
as he had hoped.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Slemp as
pired to a place in the presidents
family as a cabinet member. 1t was
thought that his ability to line uI
lsouthern delegates for Coolidge woulC
be rewarded with a higher post
However, many things interfered
with that program. VIM. M. Butler
beat him out with the president a:
chairman of the Republican National
committee. Then Harry New decided
to remain as postmaster-generaI, the
job it had been assumed Slemp aspireC
to.
Sanders has experienced rOmanti
career of poverty and must have beer
reluctant to interrupt his plans, which
at last promised much, to become sec
retary at approximately the sam
salary he was receiving as congress
man.
. Whereas, Slemp is wealthy, San
ders is NOT. Sanders could have bee
reelected to congress from his dis
trict last fall but he declined to rur
