Many f us who watched the vlcto-
rfcrus candidate receive the returns and
f &w- him -keep an even kel, never ruf
. fled, never ; upstage, never - exhibiting
even the schoolboy Joy that one might
' except on i nuch - tn occailon, could
, not hut come to the conclusion: that
President-elect Hardin will face all the
f hljr moments of his career with the same
dHiberatenesw, th same calmnen and
th aama modesty that Bm& to tt
. vtft him as the greatest gift in the na
tion's power was slowly Tmt surely be-
; stowed upon him by the telegraphed re
' turns of the vote' in all. parts- of the

- Jt?oniiervaMvely, Wenstor Harding reed
- the dispatches. The Joyous Mpremlntu
ryt the people at his home made him
happy, ye only whwi a delegation of
printers and employes from his own pa
fr came to the front porch to rejoice
. with Warren Warding did he choke
with emotion.
It was their Joy, their happineas, their
rftthniarm,! which he rsught. He broka
for only a moment. Soon ho was him
self again andxalmly examining th re
turns, nodding here and smiling there,
mingling among his guests and going
bout hie own house wJUi the same ease
that a practiced host miht rtinplajr
upon 'Inviting a houseful of folks for a
social, occasion. - . - X
Jpver since the Chicago convention last
June, people have been assuring Harding
that W would be elected, people who
ought to know the political trend of the
country, k btrtTnever did the Senator per
mit himself to imagine that the contest
was really oveH that he was actually
elected.- Even when rival headquarters
were conceding the election, be did not
give vent to his Innermost feelings.
BECALLft 111 SURPRISE
; Terhaps It was the caution Which Mrs.
Harding' . was always expressing". "J
salule you as the first lady of the xjand,"
exclaimed an enthusiastic neighborto
Mrs. Harding. X- ? : - "x
r "Oh, It's too early for that," insisted
the wife f the senator. "And I shall
not ka Warren until I really know he
is elected." ' ' .
it was Senator Harding himself who
reminded me that , four year ago the
people were fooled by early election re
turns. I explained to him that the
Hughes election was conceded before
enough states had been heard from to
warrant such concession, and that this
time the returns had come In from
enough states to make the result more
than certain. Including' Western states.
Tthafs true he answered with a
mile. "It doea look KxxJ, doesn't .Uf
For Innate modesty, there are few men
like Senator Harding in public ltfe. For
rugfred honesty and conscientiousness, It
would be well for the nation if more men
emulated his example. Governor Cox
has talked of a senatorial oligarchy. It
Is extremely doubtful whether the sen
atorial group will control Senator Hard
hue. - "' " -c -VIGOBOlJs

If Republican senators expect to do so,
as they used to In other administrations,
they will find themselves very much mis
taken and disappointed. I Warren G.
Hardlhg is loyal to his friends, but a
sense of duty carries him (even beyond
frlendshln. i" 1
He has a mind of his owti, and a will
power which will surprise many who are
reluctant to accept him as a vigorous
rtiiractcr. ' : :.
Senator Harding hasn't made a single
promise" of "a " cabinet portfolio. " The
inner y circle i is as much la the - dark
about that a the outer; circle contain
ing that great body of j American cttl
ens. Senator Harding' has mad up
his mind to take a rest first and think
about his job afterward r He goes to
the southernmost end Of Texas and then
to Panama and will keep away from the
borde of office seekers who 'camp on
the. doorstep of a president-elect. ;
As for future policy, the senator read
carefully the election returns without
comment aa to their meaning. He an
swered the inquiry of one reporter . as
to whether America - would enter the
League of Nations by declaring that he
need have no apprehension about Amer
ica entering some kind of an association
of nations. i';,. .- 'A. :-.

But it was one of the'moet rcmirkabl
election , parties In American history.
Friends of he victorious candidate- Sat
around as heXhimself read aloud the
various j pre association1 reports that
came to the house. I Everybody In
Marion seemed to feeKthe right to drop
In and say ''Hello' with the same in
formality as if they were Calling on any
neighbor . or fellow townsman, The
simple - home of the Hard ings was of
Course alive with -people. -- Fred Upham.

side of the campaign, came from their
homes In Chicago In a special train with
George Gets 'of Chicago, and were with
the senator as news of his election came
over the wires Harry "Daughtery,
Colonel Darden. Fred Starek and other
close friends from pre-convention days
were there,, too. but it; was not until
midnight whert the people of Marlon evi
dently became convinced at' the same
moment that there could be ho- repeti
tion of the surprise of 1916. ,
FIJfALLY TOWK AR0T8ED j
Then came a fife and drum corps. It
aroused the entire town and the pro
cession started along Mount Vernon ave
nue to the Harding home. Such a noise
as they did make! They yelled and
shouted and blew horns and fairly
screamed for Joy. TVhen Senator Harding
came to the. front porch, was given
the cheer that conies only one to , a
lifetime when a man is. elected to the
presidency j when the voices of the peo
ple who have known him for years are
lifted up In a chorus that comes from
(he heart, a chorus of congratulations
that ia sincere aid spontaneous, that is
at once an .expression of pride and
exultation. - . . -
Airs. Harding was kissed by her neigh-J
bora again and again. The president
elect's hand was shaken vigorously by
thousands of. his friends : real love and
affection for' the Hardlngs was unmis
takable In that crowd. They celebrated
the victory of their neighbor with the
noisy enthusiasm and ecstasy which
Americans anywhere might display as
they saw a struggling boy of humble
parentage and modest means win. out
in the greatest of all contests In Amer
ican public life. :
