IH "What do you mean!' askod Iluth B "I mean( Ruth, that the great Rv H publican convention had cloned after H naming as the candidate for preal- dent, Senator Warren O. Harding of jl Ohio. .And everybody Is pleased ex-H ex-H cept the Democrats, becauso thoy H must realise that the kind of govera-H govera-H ment that th0 Republican party and H its nominee, Senator Harding, etaul for Is the kind of government erer m Amerllcan cltlsen is longing (o return a to, the sooner the better. The next H time I tell'Tou a story. I am going m to ten you about' the hUory of On m life of Senator Harding. Tonight I I . want to, giro you tittle idea of what this 'he man's' nomination I means to the country "Senator Harding Is an old fasti-s, fasti-s, loned. Republican. Ho looks, acts, gfcF and thinks like the great Republican ;S President, William McKlnley, wl.r. MH was killed by a bad man many yean V ago. He comes from tho samo stato and la same kind oof frtondly, kind-m kind-m ly, fair and square gentleman. Uu-I Uu-I like Woodrow Wilson, Senator Hard- lng is a common senso American. who believes In tho Constitution of the United States and overthlng for H which our popular form of govern-U govern-U rnent stands. He will not close t'.-s H. doors of tho White House 'and r- fuse to listen to the advice of big, IBB - brainy men. He will not select oh members of his cabinet, men win know nothing about tho various departments de-partments of tho government. 8ce-ator 8ce-ator Harding will select and ur round himself with the bralnlW. cabinet wo havo had for many yean, men whose Judgment ho believes in and men to whom ho will go for advice. "When tho delegates from all orer or-er tho United States met In Chicago, they had many serious problems tit solve. Thoro wcro groups of delegates dele-gates with varying Ideas as to principles prin-ciples and divergent preferences i to candidates. Fortunately the com tntttco of delegates who wcro choo en to wrlto what is called a 'platform' 'plat-form' were able to draw up adecla--atlon of principles which met th; approval of everybody and thero wi no opposition to Its adoption. Tho delegates wero also able to agree upon a man as candidate for president presi-dent who is neither a radical nor an cxtrcmo conservative ono who will aid In restoring government by a responsible party organisation Instead In-stead of a government controlled by ono man who not only bosses his party par-ty but tries to run tho government In acordanco with his poraonal views, regardless of tho Judgment of otho-men otho-men who aro often bottor qualified than he. "Every bit of unrost and troubln In this country today can bo trnod In ono way or another, back to the policies of tho present admtnlstra tlon, which means tho policies of one Woodrow Wilson. He has cared nothing for the advice of his party He has cared nothing for tho advico of his cabinet or tho advice of the big men of the country. He has goun - ahead with the idea that he k.w It all and that If he thought a thing ought to be done In a certain ws It could not bo done better. But no man can know it all and no roan can run this government to suit hint self. If Congress has railed to accomplish ac-complish some things, although I think they have done mighty well It lias been because Woodrow Wilson has refused to glvo In on any of hU views and all the tlmo ignorcd.or antagonized an-tagonized Congress. And that Is certainly wrong when we remember that Congress Is made up of me.t elected by the pcoplo of this country to frame our laws. "Now children, this kind of administration ad-ministration has made It possible fo." Bolshevism and all kinds of extreme radical forces to gain headway, it must bo stopped and whenWarre O. Harding Is elected president it will be stopped. Thoro will be no more playing with radicals as we have seen going on with Mitchell Palmer as attorney general. Thoro will be no more sending of money b tho millions to foreign countries or planning to mix up with every country coun-try In the world when our own pro blems should be solved first. We will havo a government, as tho great Lincoln sold, 'Of the pcoplo,by tin peoplo and fqr tho people.' The Republican Re-publican party has had tho courago to say 'It must end,' and wo will have no more of Wllsoulan govern mont. "Whom did Senator Harding go aftor tho convention?" asked Jack- "Ho went right back to Washington Washing-ton Jack, to attend (o his duties ai Senator. Ho is not going to'rcslgn or quit as Senator. Ho Is a hird worker and always arrives at his of flee by ntno o'clock In tho mornli' On his first day In Washington after tho convention ho worked far into tho night to catch up with his totters. tot-ters. Dut although ho has been iit dor a hard strain and working hard since he arrived In Washington h Is in the beat of health. He loves to play golf and plays a splendid game which keeps htm In good physical phy-sical shapo, very necessary for any man who must face the responsibilities responsibili-ties as head of this great country. "To show 'you what people thiol' of him, who know him, I am going to read what Senator King, of Utah, a Democrat, has said about Senator Harding. Here it Is: 'Harding reminds re-minds me very strongly of MoKlnley whom I know. It seems to mo that the Democrats should bo willing to 'admit, as I am, that tho Chicago cnu ventlon selected the strongest ticket they could have choaoen.' "I hopo Senator Hording will ln tho next President,' said Ktith. "Hejrilt bo the next President" answer! Uncle Ted, "and the UnU cd States H1U bo govorned by It.n Constitutions as tho fathers Intend ed. Now scamper along to bed and nsxt week I will tell you all about Senator Hardlngs, life nnd tho many things ho has done" |
