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

Out of the dust of the Indepen

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

side and was never much bother
as a competitor.
Along came the Spanish-Ameri

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

about noma lively preliminary
skirmishes in tbe organization of
committees. 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.
