As certain as anything can be. in this world. is the election of Senator Hardin sr. To readers of this newspaper, the many family groups to which it comes a regular .welcome visitor,- Senator Harding's face shines as that of a friend. ! . Senator Harding, your next President, is your kind of man. You see him, hear a few ?words, and you know it. - He was born in a small town, has lived there all his. life, lives there now. and will live'there again when he leaves the White House with his work for the country done. i How Ho Lire. . ) ! He lives as you live, simply. In the; old fashioned American way. The main residence street in any little American town, boasts half a dozen homes more elaborate than Senator Harding's, and many as good. Millions of men, believing in this country, devoted to its government, SATISFIED with the UNITED STATES, believe that the United States is able to deal with its own problems, and settle its own questions free from outride assistance or. interference. Those millions of men are men of the same sort as Senator Harding. j What Kind of Man. ' Harding is a big American in physical size, thanks to vigorous farming ancestors. He is a big American also in heart, in understand ing, in sympathy, and in simplicity, j You read his speeches and know .that he does not imagine himself created to tell all the world what to do. He believes in. and he. understands the American .people, his friends, the citizens of his own little town, Marion, Ohio, and the dwellers in thousands of other towns like it.: j . Your Servant, No Autocrat. After you have elected him, you will find in Senator Harding an earnest, concientious, straight thinking servant of the people, not an autocrat, but a man respecting the traditions of American government, and the Constitu. ition of the United States. I . , Senator Harding understands that the (people will elect him to be President of the United States, not President of the whole iworld. He will know that he is employed jby the PEOPLE of this country to look after the interests of THIS country. Born on a farm, living all his life close to ! farmers, he knows and sympathizes with the problems of the farm. Living in the average (American way, in the average American j small town, he knows the problems of tha average American. He understands the ;printers he employs, and he knows their trade and sets type as they do. , His-Ambition. Senator Harding has no ambition to be called a political superman, or RULER of America. It is his ambition to be known as j good American, a faithful servant of these jthat trust him. National politics are discussed this year less than' at any election since the republic (was founded. Why? Because men do net , discuss, to any great extent, that which is j DEFINITELY SETTLED. I And this national election is definitely settled as you read this. YOU know it. j But it is important that demonstration of ,the popular wilt should be of the most over whelming kind. Therefore the good citizen will do what he can to increase the vote for Harding, should there be any doubtful votes within reach of his voice. i It is almost ludicrously difficult to find a man or woman that intends to vote the Demo cratic ticket this year. ; i But if you do find one; show him or her this picture of the next President. And express in your own way the reasons that inspire you to approve and vote for him. - 1 What is Senator Harding's outleok upon life? It is YOUR OWN. . Read these extracts from one of his re c eat speeches: "Thfs gavtmrrttrit Is your Byrnm"t. : , not that of somebody who Is placod In of -You cloths us wiui authority. Wo aro pleased to execute your will. Aniont rosso : I want the Republican party in power once : " mere Is because we are reepensive to the will of the people of the United States end ' i . do not try to tell ysu that what oe man I thinks Is necessary. - No hallucination there, no Idea that Hard ing was made to rule, and YOU, who read this newspaper, made to be ruled, or preach ed at from above by your own elected serv ant. The duty of the American, whether ho ba President or simple citizen, is not complicated in Mr. Harding's mind. He says: .' "At said at the outset, government Le a very simple thing, government le only tHe regulation ef eur relationships to one an ether. The government's fret tssk Is tHe protection ef the minority sg slnst uteerscy, cr the domination cf the majority that semo V times forgets the rights ef the minority. "I am preaching the Qepl popular ! representative government In the Unite i States, a government that oee net know ' any class anywhere in all this Republic In his speeches and in his daily life, run ning for.the Presidency or running his coun try newspaper. Senator Harding is just an everyday American neighbor. Thij is what he says, as he bids farewell to a crowd of friends: ? , , "I am very happy to see yea s'l this mens. I "5- As I have said. I want you to know me, end am delighted to know you. We are co!na to work tcge'Jter for the feed ef the , United States, and we are going to held America f.rsvin ail eur thewjht and In all ur actions. ! Women Voting. t Women especially have reason to con gratulate themselves on the fact that Senator Harding will be the next President. , j Their sons are taken In war. Their has-, bands and fathers are taxed to pay for war. They spend the lonely hours of dreadful anxiety, while the son is away. They, above all, are interested In having for President such a ma? as Senator Harding. He does not believe that foreign powers should be allowed to conscript American boys for war beyond the seas. He does not believe that a Foreign Council should send to America for men and money, to settle wars not cf our making. - Senator Harding does not believe that this country should be taxed to finance the am bitions or the land greed of foreign nations,1 and as he believes, so the earnest men and women of this country believe. 4 When you cast your vote for Senator Hard ing, you will vote for YOUR KIND OF MAN,' the intelligent, straighforvrard. unpretentious American citizen. President Irarding will be an American President, not an international President, i , i Yoa will have in the White House a man cf constructive mind, a plain American with1 no dreams of world dominion, but with a set tled determination to restore normal con-' ditions andtiormal prosperity to this country.1 ! After the War. J After a war that has destroyed old con ditions, costs many lives, squandered many, billions in reckless extravagance and dis-' honesty and weakened respect for the Con stitution, yoii need for President a straight forward, conrtructive American. And you will have such a man in the Whit House after the 4th of next March, for after that the President of the United States will be Warren G. Harding, your kind of man, one that you would gladly trust with your own affairs, and the alTaira of your country. iSPvi REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE iz s Read the Classified Ads.
