Coolidge, it is s?id, would perhaps have never been brought to the atten tion of th.? nation were it not for the Boston police strike In September, 1919. Members of the Boston police department were desirous of affiliat ing with the American Federation of Labor, they already having a btrong local union. However, when Police Commissioner Edward U. Curtis is 't' sued the ultimatum that Boston po liceman would not be permitted to join any outside labor organization and haled 19 leaders in the union movement before liim for trial, three ' fourths of the personnel of the de " partment struck. For 24 hours the city of Boston waa given over to law lessness and Europe as well as the entire United States was waiting for the stand to be taken by the gov ernor.

Harding, the choice of the republican party for president of tne United States, is a native of Ohio and has always been a resident of that state, being a publisher and busi ness man of the city of Marion. Al ways a staunch member of the repub lican party, Mr. Harding entered the political field in his own state a score of years ago and by his leadership and keen mind soon gained recogni tion outside of his own state. In 1914 lie was elected United States senator from Ohio and took his first official step into the national political arena For some years before this time, row ever, he had been prominent in the councils of the party and had carried on studies in Europe and elsewhere which well qualified him to handle ihe problems of a national and an in ternational nature which he was called upon to take up after assuming the senatorial toga. High recognition of the aualitiex of leadership found in Mr. Harding was j Kiven in isi, wnen at the June con vention in Chicago of the republican party. Senator Harding was chosen chairman and was called upon to give the opening address, which was sup posed to sound the keynote of the re publican campaign. Since 1915 Mr. HardJng has served In the senate and has won a position of unusual impor tance at Washington, considering his comparatively short period of service. Campaign ot Active. During the pist several months Mr. Harding has been one of the most persistent of the "dark horses" before the party, and it was known that there was a strnog undercurrent of sentiment within the party in favor of the Ohio native son, althougn no active campaign in his behalf had been waged by his friends. In view of this fact, little surprise was felt by republican leaders here yesterday at his nomination, after it became ap parent that none of the three leaders in the race could obtain the necessary votes. Senator Harding was born on a farm just outside of Blooming Grove. Morrow county, Ohio, on November 2, 1865, and Is thus 54 years old. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Hard ing, both sprang from strong colonial stock, dating before the revolutionary war days, the father's forbears having come to America from Scotland and the mother's ancestry tracing back to Holland. The Harding familv came originally from Scotland, settling in Connecticut. Shortly before the revo lution the family moved to Penn sylvania and during the war the family was well represented in the armies which fought and won inde pendence from Great Britain. In the days when Ohio was a great wilderness of forest, with small farms cleared away here and there and a few scattering villages, the grand father Harding with his family hewed for himself a farm out of forest, and it was here upon his grandfather's farm, where his parents were then living that Warren G. Harding was born. His father, who had fought in the civil war to preserve the union, at that time was a young practicing physician and from the Harding farm t ; ilk: n rt vj" ii i I occupation Newspaper man I I fei, 4 s v I I I since 1884. - tt,- :?T OX Li of I I t the Star of Marlon, O.

Young Harding's early life was that of the normal happy boy upon a farm where there was lots of work to do. but time left to attend the village school.

WARRKN farm was accounted a popular spot and while Harding frequented it with the other youngsters during the sum mer months, he was not afraid to work and did almost a man's share in clearing and tending the farm. At the age of 14 years young Hard ing completed his work at the village school and entered the Ohio Central college of Iberia, now defunct. Here I he showed strong qualities as a stu- j dent and also gave indications of his j love of printers' ink. which was to 1 be so closely related to his later life,: by being editor of the college paper. a. HiH mn nf th ,,thr i)hi vmiths' I Harding worked his way through the i college, being forced to quit his work j at intervals to replenish his treasury by doing odd Joos, worKing in ine fields or on the section garnj of the railroad. When he was 19 years old. shortly after he had completed his course at the Ohio Central college, the family moved to Marion, O., then a growin town of about 4000 inhabitants, where ! Mr. Harding Sr. was able to enlarge,! his field of endeavor as a physician. Here Warren Harding found an out let for his love of printers' ink by becoming connected with the Marion Star, a struggling daily, and with the aid of credit arranged by his father, the young man purchased the paper, assuming a heavy mortgage. This was in 1884, and Mr. Harding has been publisher of the Star con tinuously since that time and an im portant factor in the upbuilding of the city of Marion, which today has a pop ulation, of some 30.000 persons. The first years were difficult ones for the young man and many financial crises in connection with the paper were passed only after severe struggles. Mr. Harding handled, at different times, practically every phase of the work, from printers' devil up to editor and business manager, and became a skilled typesetter, linotype operator, pressman and makeup man. In fact, to this day, it is declared that as a skilled laborer around the plant there is no better man in. any mechanical department that Mr. Harding himself With the growth of the town came ex pansion of the newspaper and atter a hard fight the paper achieved a. firm foundation and the young proprietor was abre to buy out his principal rival. The newspaper has continued to grow and at the present time Is declared to have the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in a city of similar size in the middle west. Industrial Problems Solved. There has never been a strike or a threatened strike in the office of the Star, it is stared, and Mr. Harding has solved hi!" own industrial problem by a practice of friendship, square dealing and generosity which has re sulted in a corps of workers upon the paper all of whom swear by the "old man." After the paper had become firmly established. Mr. Harding reor ganized the concern Into a stock com- time. With the growth of Marlon. Mr. Harding continued to grow likewise He urged the establishment of new industries and enterprises and at the present time is a director in a bank and a director in several large manu facturing concerns in the city. The republican nominee entered his political career 20 years ago. being elected to the Ohio senate in 1900 from the 13th senatorial district. He HORDING lilt pig J,V -T- -Photo copyright by Edmonston. i. HARDING. served in this capacity from 1900 to 1904. and was elected in 1904 as lieu tenant-governor, serving from 1904 to 1906. In 1910 he was the republi can nominee for governor of the state, but was defeated. In 1914 friends prevailed upon him to return to the political arena and he was nominated as republican candidate lor onuea states senator and elected by the overwhelming majority of 100.000 votes. " Trlpa Slade to Kurope. , . . ...!, i. i st'te ot hls reat Cti,Vit'" tiis home city, Senator Harding baa not confined himself to Marion, and had been for years a keen student of government and oolitical science With Mrs. Harding, he made three trips to Europe, not for the purpose of sightseeing but to study European systems of government and to obtain an insight into America's interna tional Droblems as disclosed on the other side of the Atlantic. He also made a trip to Hawaii to study tne production and marketing of sugar. Thus equipped. Senator Harding took up his new duties in Washington in 1915 and rapidly won recognition in the senate as a forceful speaker and keen thinker. He had already ob tained recognition as a leader in re publican party councils and further strengthened his position in this re gard upon his removal to Washing ton. In 1916 he was accorded the signal honor of being chosen chair man of the republican national con vention in Chicago, and by his key note address and his leadership in conducting the convention won the admiration of the rank and file of delegates. During the last several years the important work which he has tone on the committee of foreign relations of the senate and other com mittees of which he is a member, has brought him in close touch with the great questions, both foreign and domestic, with which the next admin istration will have to deal. Florence Kllng Married. In 1891 Mr. Harding was married to Florence Kling, daughter of Amos Kling. now deceased, who was one of the leading business men of the city of Marion. Mrs. Harding has been described by Intimate friends as a tower of strength to her husband in all of his business relations and po litical aspirations, and in the fullest sense a helpmate and home-maker. He has been for years an active member of the Trinity Baptist church of Marion, being a trustee of the church at the present time. Perhaps the safest and truest way for those situated at a distance to form an idea of the character and worth of any man is to take tne ex pressions of those who have been closely identified with that man in the regular walks of life, in the day-by-day struggles and labors which in the long run show the caliber of every man. The president of one of the largest manufacturing . concerns In Marion says of him: "To the older residents of Marion the life of Senator Harding is an open book, showing his development from young manhood to mature years; from a position of obscurity to one of prominence; from comparative poverty to reasonable affluence," and on no page of that book is there a line that his best friend could wish obliterated. "In later years it has been my pleasure to serve with him on various jEYf THING- UOVUV boards of directors. His counsel anJ advice have always been sought and valued, and his judgment on matters of importance has been invariably sound." Trlbnte raid Harding. The president of another large In dustrial concern says of him: "Were he elected president, the country would have a good listener, a man capable of selecting a strong cabinet of good advisers; a sane, sound and sensible business man. safe as to our financial system, rea sonable In tariff requirements, but unyielding In the demand for pro tection to American ideals of right living. A wholesome man of good physical proportions, a man loving peace, but one who under no circum stances would permit the rights and dLgnity of the American nation to be trampled upon. A just and able, and an honest man." The manager of still another of Marlon's successes said of him: "Harding is not rich, except In gen erosity, but his publishing svecess has given him a competence. The big thing about him is his unfailing com mon sense, and his marked ability to listen to others and promptly reach wise decisions out ot the conflict of opinions. Those who know him most Intimately think he fits the needs of the hour with nothing less than prophetic qualities to restore this country to rational and normal ways." HARDING VICTORY SEEN PREDICTION IS VENTURED BY GOVERNOR. OLCOTT. Tribute Paid Nominee by Secre tary oT State and Attorney-General. SALEM. Or., June II. (Special.) Governor Olcott, upon his return home from the country late tonight. said he nad heard of Mr. Harding's nomination only a few minutes be fore, and was not in a position to make any extended statement re garding the nominee. "However. 1 believe." he said, "that Senator Hard ing is a strong and able man and that his election will follow." "Senator Harding has long been identified with the republican party, is a leader in the United States sen ate and possesses that rare business ability which should make him a for midable candidate at the November election," was the statement made by Attorney-General Brown when noti fied that Mr. Harding had been named as standard-bearer for the republican party at the Chicago convention. "I have been in touch with the achievements of Senator Harding for many years and I consider him one of the most able men in the party. He will not only prove himself worthy of the support of his constituents but will be elected at the November elec tion over his democratic opponent. His selection should be accepted with general satisfaction." "Thre is no doubt but that the re publican party made a popular selec tion when it today nominated Senator Harding for president," declared Sam A. Kozer, secretary of state. "Senator Harding's knowledge of the needs of the nation, gained through his terms of service as United States senator eminently qualifies him for the pres idency. I predict an overwhelniinij victory for the party in November with Senator Harding as its standard bearer. OREGON NAMES COOLIDGE (Continued From Firbt Page.) ballot were: Walker, McCaniant and Brooke. Judge Carey was the only delegate to try out any wide range of possi bilities. He voted for Iowden on the tilth ballot and for Hoover on the sixth ballot and then went to Harding and stayed there through out the three remaining roll calls. While other states changed their votes to -Harding after the last bal lot indicated his nomination,' Oregon did not change. It was learned tonight that within the Oregon delegation the plan " to nominate Governor Coolidge for vice president was evolved only 20 min utes before Judge McCamant rose and captured the convention. It was planned, however, before the nomina tions for vice-president were opened and therefore arranged without any knowledge as to the possible candi dates to be placed before the conven tion. It was not aimed to head off any other candidacy. The only incident of the Orecon delegation's voiins durins the day was a demand for a poll of the dele gation by Hamilton Johnitone on the fifth ballot, which was tha first vote taken this morning. On this ballot five votes were announced for Hiram Johnson, four for Wood and out for Lowden. The purpose of the deintnd appears to have been 10 place the delegation on record, Mr. Johnstone desiring to make a record of his own vote for the California candidate. This poll disclosed that it was Judge Carey who had voted for Lcwdeu. Hamilton Johnstone and E. J. Adams will remain in the east for some time. Mr. Johnstone is the Ore gon member of the committee to no tify Senator Harding of his nomina tion. E. J. Adams, who is the Ore gon member of the committee to no tify the vice-presidential nominee, has ahead of him a trip to Boston, to call on Governor Coolidge. John L. Rand, chairman of the Oregon dele gation, accompanied by Mrs. Rand, also plans a visit to Boston before returning home. Other Oregon dele gates will be departing for home in a few days. WOOD DOWNFALL y GAUSED BY BORAH Monkey Wrench Game Start ed by Senator. PLAY GOES ON ALL NIGHT Bitterness and Rancor Develop and Delegates Leave Chi cago With. Mean Looks. BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE. (Copyrinht by the Bell Syndicate. ' Inc. Published by Arrangement. CHICAGO. June 12. (Special.) It was midnight. In the corridors of the hotel all was still save for a slight disturbance made by a couple of bands and six glee clubs. Most of the delegates sought . slumber. But in vain. Such was the nervous tension that they couldp't have found the slumber they sought with a drove of bloodhounds. . However, comparatively speaking, all was quiet. Then a door swung open in a passageway. Out of it stepped William E. Borah. United States senator of Idaho. His Irene Castle locks rustled in the light breeze, his face was stern and set. In his hand he held a large monkey wrench. Wrench Dropped In Machine. Advancing1 swiftly down the corri dor, he reached the Wood machine, buzzing as merrily as a paper pulp mill, and to that time as prosperously. Over the machine the Idaho states man stretched forth his hand and lightly dropped the monkey wrench into thevhirrlng gears. There was a sound of rending and tearing. A smell of hot metal and a sudden ces sation of operations in the interior of the machine. Which Is a way of saying that Hon. William E. Borah had announced that If Wood, or Lowden for that matter, were nominated, he. William K. Borah, would emit a howl that could be heard in his dear little home in the west, and then and there quit the party. Well, that started things. In 10 minutes every statesman here gath ered was hurrying to and fro in search of monkey wrenches. Monkey wrenches were flying in the air all through the long, hot night, and land ing with loud crashes in smoothly running machines. From the Hotel Blackstone Senator Johnson shot a monkey wrench into the air, which described a neat para bola and lit into the mechanism of the Lowden self-starter, converting it on the instant into a self-stopper. Other monkey wrenches from many hostile quarters landed in the John son machinery. Nobody escaped. As fast as a new boom was launched, bam! A monkey wrench flattened it out like a pancake. Game Occupies All ia;ht. This engaging game occupied the entire night. It did not proceed with out bitterness and rancor, either. When you have a nice little machine that is going to pile up delegates like a press piles up newspapers, you don't care for the fellow that inserts a monkey wrench between the wheels. The delegates are going away from here with memories which may not help humanity much In the by and by. Hot weather and lack of direction did most of it. The ancient division over standpatism and progress in the party did the rest. It hasn't been a 1 love feast, this convention. Maybe the bruises suffered by Innocent by standers from misdirected monkey wrenches may heal. Maybe again the result will make the election safe for democracy. Anyway, all the forward-looking men are looking backward with mean looks, and a lot of them are mad clear th rough. The man who said this convention had been mismanaged was more con servative in his statement than th'e man who said that Jesse James was afflicted with moral strabismus. 1 don't want to be partisan, and I'm not; but If I were the sole proprietor of the republican party I'd begin looking around for a new set of hands to run the machinery.
