Before going further Into de tails of the first political episode In W. O.'s career. I should like to go back and gather some of the frayed edges of .this story. There was the case ot the old remV- weekly Independent for one thing. W ha.d heaped a mound over its grave. This is not said with any . feeling of triumph on my part. and I know that V. O. had no such emotions. I: wa. not lik'i him to rejoice over the fallen en emy. Some 1'umitk.fiM Out of the dust of the Indepen dent there sprang a mushroom pa per called the Marlon Dally Re publican. The organization be hind this enterprise had In nltnd the desntctlon of the Star. The company had considerably mom-.y to start with, and it had Import ed more newspaper talent than ft needed. There was .a great splurge, metropolitan airs, and much thunder. However, the peo ple of Marion, who had watched the Star's growth from its sick kitten days, did not take kindly to the new roaring thing. Soon there was another raound in the newspaper graveyard. Lack of sustenance had brought about the untimely death of the Marlon Daily Republican before we of the Star scarcely knew that It was in town. I might have said before this that the old Democratic Mir ror gave birth to a daily it is still In existence under another name but it shinniert on its own I AM OUC , fcUTCttCR WrtO HAS rO CO KPUAl HT "To ( are NEVER DILATORY J IN fORWAROlK tL CHECKS FOR 'JT out!

Along came the Spanish-Ameri can war ana w. u.. wnose enter prise was ever wide awake to any emergency, negotiated a fell press report. We were some pumpkins: Going Into Politics The Star was now on the eide of the street where the shade lin gered from eariy morning unm late afternoon, and W. O. must have felt that he could afford tne relaxation of politics in a mild form, like that ot sitting , in the state senate. ' Loean. Union and Marlon coun ties formed one senatorial district, and U was overwhelmingly Repub lican. The honor of representing It was passed around. It was Mar- on county a turn to nave me oi- ice. but it was first incumbent upon the county to agree on a candidate. After that, nomination by the district eonventon waa m mere formality. Out ot the matter of rear urn a in agreement as to a. candidate developed a beautiful little polit leal battle. Two aspirants came out after, the indorsement. One of them waa Grant E. Mouser. now a common pleas Judge and formerly congressman for two terms, the other Warren u. tiara ing. Sentiment seemed about equally divided between these two young men. and so it proved. Caucuses were held throughout the county and delegates chosen to the convention that was to de cide the controversy. The result showed a nip-and-tuck battle. The day of the convention brought that W. G. was a success In tne state senate and that. later he won distinction as lieutenant governor. These . matters are known to tne public and are not for me to deal with In my poor way. Let's go. I mean, let me get on toward the end ot these rumina tions. It is my'fcplnion that when War ren Hardlflr, left the Star to as sume the lieutenant governorship he took the soul of his paper who him. I sav that is mr opinion. but I am willing to let the other boys in the old office have theirs. The Tows of Uay hood Memories I have a note from W. G.. In viting me down to the from Porch. In It be suggests that we motor over to Caledonia, tne m- tle old village of boyhood memor ies. The fancy pleases me. There are no trees with our In itials cut In the bark. Our root prints In the dust have been blown way by tbe god of the winds af ter whom the old brass bands waa named. We shall find tne oia but tbe old pump la gone. I know the town oracle is still there, as full as ever ot quaint philosophy. One Saturday night, more than sixteen years ago. my last day's work in the Bur office ended. I was to leave in the morning for another field ot work, and wanted to shake hands with the man with whom I had grown up. "Well. W. G- I am on my way good-by." I ll admit that It was a little chokey. the way i n. Let's not say It. Jck not now." sezzee. "All right," eexxl. at w haven't said it yet. (Copyright. 1120. by the N. Y Evening Post. inc.

The Hardingites or the Hardingtonlans. or whatever you may choose to call them, cap tured the chairmanship . by one vote. The man had already been agreed upon by the Harding lead ers, provided we had the votes to put him across. He was so thoroughly the right man for our side that be deserves a place m these recollections. His name is Henry B. Hane. . Warren Harding won the con vention's Indorsement by .only on vote. But It was enough to start him on his -way, and he is going yet. as everybody knows. . I must not forget tne mannooa and broadmindedness of the de feated candidate before that no table little convention, where men were ready to fight tor their man. Animated with Harding enthus iasm and -desire to help him win I was rushing through the aisles of the old court room trying te find a delegate we needed on our side. Grant E. Mouser caught me by the arm and held on long enough to say: , "It's all right. Jack. You're against me today, but after it'a all over I want to feel that we are still tbe best ot friends." . We were. And In after years it pleased me to know that so good a political sport had won his re ward. Another comforting mem ory is that Warren Harding ana Grant Mouser have been political friends In the years that "have piled on one another since 'the big day In their younger lives.
