A DAY WITH SENATOR HARDING Calm, Steady, Determined, the American Who Is Leading the Republican Party to Victory Goes About the Business of the Campaign in His Modest Office in Marion.

By WILLIAM HOSTER. t Tbe American people will decide, r of course. If they can visualise the ' vital principle which Is st stake — the spirit which at once the keynote ( and the mainspring of the campaign ( upon which the nation has entered, ( there can be no doubt of the result. i It Isn't a thing that can be carried t about this country, and exhibited from i the rear end of a Pullman car. It Is 1 wholly apart from the red fire, blaring bands and stump oratory of old- , fashioned campaigns. Hie issue. In , short goes deep down to that principle i which -has been the malosprlng of , the national life since the days of L«x- i ! lngton and Concord; and the patriotic ' citizen, - Republican and Democrat f alike; trtf taking con nee 1 with himself. will find 'it Imbedded In his own heart. * Here In Marlon. O- you get a concrete exposition of that vital princi-

ple. It Is good to come to Marlon and j get the true perspective. Sou are | brought anew. here, to the realization that the country Is In process of elect- , a chief executive to guide the des- , tlnies of 120.000.000 people for the . years ensuing from March 4 next: that the very serious business of , bringing about what a European ob- , server described as "a revolution by due process of law," Is going forward with a proper regard for the dignity end importance of the task. • Scene Entirely Appropriate. Your first Impression is of tbe fitness of Marlon as the scene for the enactment of such a chapter In American history. It I* a qufet little country town, for all its boasted Industrial activity; and when you approach the Harding residence, one among many in Its simplicity an-J attractiveness, you feel It is quite In keeping with . events that from this typical American borne there should come a modest, dignified and capable, up-standing American upon whom the choice of his fellow citizens should fall to uphold the honor and traditions of the nation. This conviction grow® when you meet the man. He Is typical of the successful business man — of the hundreds of thousands of successful Americans who have accumulated a competence through the ordinary channels which are open to all hard working, straightforward American boya. Meet him, now. He baa established an office In the home of George Christian, Jr, hla secretary, which adjoins the Harding bouse— and this Is typical ; chief and secretary live side by side, each owning his own modest home. And by the way, these executive efflcers are tUumlnating as to the kind of a man it Is whom the Republican party has made Its standard bearer In this epoch-making campaign. Every room In the houae Is given over to the business In hg»d— the seastor'i conference room Is the Christian dining room, his private office, when the Imp****! conferences are held. Is the Utdna la tha living row sits Christian.

the senator. Just at the minute bells reading proof on editorials which are be printed In his newspaper, the Marlon "Star," In the afternoon. The senator stands for everything that la printed In tbe "Star," and la careful read what goes Into Its columns bethe paper goes to press. Dispoa of the proof sheet, he shakes cordially wltb you, and you are at liberty te size blm up. Mark Him Dependable. He la somewhat above tbe average, of course, because he has already been alDgied out by the people of Ohio to represent them In the senate. Bot aside from this; You are at- oace struck by hla balance and his poise You mark blm as ; flependsble-rWe-Tbere la that In his 4qse,; on his brow, which gives assurance that be la notthe sort of a man wbo will speak wlthnfl* thinking, or act , without dellber Hils.g. There. Is reserve force lo hlf i bearing, determination In hla Jaws. c|

character In • hlF mouthy- kindly sym- ti pathy In bis eyes. w As you listen to him talk here 'In the Christian dining room, or later, in || a speech to a visiting delegation from t, the front porcb of his home, this con u victlon Is strengthened. He doesn't say c anything Jh bis office that he wouldn't £ say out on the porch, nor anything on u the porch that he wouldn't adhere tc j, 1 In all sincerity In his office. r The thing that strikes you at an r times— it Is the very atmosphere ot e Marion — Is his moderation, his re- t ■ stralnt — the absence of all bombast t • and exaggeration In bis statements. ■ the careful presentation of the Issues. t • the avoidance of all attempt to array , I one class agaipst the other, the cod j , > veyance of the desire. If called to the j , r presidency, to be president of all the j , . people ; and, without making any high- ( i sounding promises, to give all of the j i i people tbe best that is In blm. | , Avoids Personal Controversy. i i Particularly noticeable Is his avoid- . | ance of personal controversy. Not j e once since his nomination has Hard- j ' j Ing referred In a public speech to his . h opponent He adheres to the Issues f Not ence has he permitted himself to a Indulge In personal denunciation of e bis rival. h He la sane. He baa fixed convle- :■ tions as to the moderation and balance -which should characterize cand didates for the high office of tbe presh Idency; departure from which he bes lleves, without doing any good to the I- candidate whs offends, does serve to y bring American Institutions Into conit tempt n. Daring the war there was a Hardo lng-klnd ot man In service at bo'sun j. on an American merchantman. The d time came when the ahlp waa tori. pedoed ; and the bo'sun was put ^n ir charge ot the tiller on the whaleboat ■a In which a goodly portion of the crew i- took refuge. A storm arose, and there le waa Imminent danger that the boat ta would M swampod. In the stern s. shows sst the boon, rigid and arect, r- his hand locked ta {he tlllor.

IDEALS MHOPES 9 Former Pastor SHI JS< Boosting Man Who Will Bo Loader and Not Dictator. FINDS IN SENATOR NO TRACE OF RADICALISM Declares Justice, Klndllnaee and Mercy 8tand Out aa Foremost Characteristics of Republican Candidate.-, , Included among tbe Minnesota Be- | publicans working faithfully and lfiduatriously In behalf of Bonator Harding, la Rev. D. B. Martin, of Winnebago, Minn., formerly pastor of the Mnrton> Ohio, Baptist Church and Senatoi Harding's pastor. The other day Rev. Martin was asked Just why he is bo enthusiastic' about Senator Harding, and this la what he said; "It l» a peculiar pleasure for me te continue the work which I began twenty-five years ago. It tvaa my privilege to stand on the side lined and boost for Senator Harding when be received his first nomination ''for public office. When he waa a candidate for the senate I was visiting In Ohio and hod the pleasure of beoetIng for him. It Is. therefore, a peculiar pleasure to Join wltb this bunch of Minnesota testers In seeking to put Senator Harding over, In the greatest gift within the power of the people. Being o clergyman, I have /- been constantly asked by my friends at the college commencement In Michigan. In Chicago and In Minnesota why I am such a persistent booster for ' Mr. Harding, and I have been asked 1 to state In this presence my reasons ' for doing so. These are three: "The first pertains to certain ele- ' menu of his character. I will give you 1 these as I received Ihenf while 1 waa " pastor of the Baptist Church In this city, of which Mr. Harding Is a member. I asked him and a group of other men to make some Sunday evening addresses. 1 do not remember mach that Senator Harding said te that . time, but I do remember very dlaOnctn ly the 'words with which be rioeed B his address and wfiWi hate-steod all , theae yeani aa outstanding elements of his character to me. He riOeed the address by s qootatte* trote-iUte Pro- ! phets, In which he sal* What doth the Lord thy'Oedxewmte '• but to do Justly and lAvf.uagim.-und 4 walk humbly wlt*T tby'GOUt* Justice. >• mercy, kindliness and humility have r In all these years stood* -as foremost if characteristics of Mr. Harding's life— B characteristics - which are always at- • always at-

tractive and make a man's life worth while. "The^ second renson Is because I believe that there Is focused In him the traditions, Ideals and purposes of the great Republican party and so peculiarly fit blm to be their leader In great crisis of the nation's life. I the word 'leader" advisedly, for It leadership that we are needing and not arbitrary, dictatorial, autocratic rule. We have had enough of that. If boss la desired there would be no need for making any change, for the that we have Is the bossiest y "The third reason Is because I find \ in him no trace of radicalism. To me radicalism is the greatest danger that ! have to face. Our Interests are too i diverse to admit of anything of that | character. We have our agricultural group with Its interests. We have the group withlts interests. We bave I sur financial Interests. We have that I other great group known as the pub- : He, that has always been made tbe i 'goat,' with Its Interests. All of ttese ! are of vital Interest to the comteon j weal and I believe that Senator Harding Is broad enough and sympathetic enough so that the Interests of each will be blended In the common Interest of all, and all will be perfectly safe under his leadership." -BEAD THAT, MR. COX" AND MR. COX OID READ. A Httle incident connected with candidate Cox's recent campaign visit to New York Indicates that the Democratic nominee is striving to forget certain tndlscryet editorials which appeared In his newspaper, the Dayton ; News, before the owner of the papa aspired to the Presidency. As the Democratic nominee wag ! leaving the Hotel Commodore after luncheon a commercial traveler faced , his way through the throng ot curious i spectators and thnmt Into Mr. Oirt ' hand an editorial clipping white proved t» be his denunciation te tea j L ,mm i r rial traretere te ten United States "Bead that Mr. Oax." lamented tbe traveling man.
