To readers of this newspaper, the many family groups to which it conies a regular welcome viaitor, Senator Harding’a face shines aa that of a friend. Senator Harding, your next President, ia your khffid wf man. You see him, hear a few worda, and you know it. He waa 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 nia work for the country done. A s certain aa ia H o w H e L iv e *. 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’a, and many as good. b ' - . 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 outside assistance or interference. Those millions of men are men of the sam e sort as Senator Harding. W h a t K in d o f M a n . SH E R M A N C O U N T Y AMeas: MORO. OREJi D E P U T IE S L . SchadeWits, D r .Jo«.

He is a big American also in heart, in understand ing, in sympathy and in simplicity. 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.

After you have elected him, you will find m Senator Harding an earnest, conscientious, straight thinking servant of the people, not an autocrat, but a man respecting the traditions of American government, and the -Constitu tion, of the United States. Senator Harding understands that the people will elect him to be President of the United States, not President of the whole world. He will know that he is employed by 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 ef the farm. Living in the average American way, in the average American small town, he knows the problems of the 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 a good American, a faithful servant of those that trust him. National politics are discussed this year Isas than at any election since the republic was founded. Why? Because men do not discuss, to any great extent, that which is DEFINITELY SETTLED.x • And this national election is definitely settled as you read this. YOU know it. But it is important that demonstration o f the popular will should be of the modt 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. , It is almost ludicrously difficult to find a man or woman that intends to vote the Demo cratic ticket this year. But If you de find one, show him or her this picture of the next President. And express In your own way the reasons that Inspire you te approve and vote for him. 4t' : The Tum-A-Lum Lumber Com pany makes a Specialty of furnishing materials for Homes, Barns, Imple ment Sheds, Hog and Poultry Houses etc.— See What is Senator Harding’s outlook upon life? . It is YOUR OWN. .. Read these extracts from one of his recent speeches: “Thia government la your government, not that of somebody who la placed In of fice." “You clothe us w ith authority. Wo are pleased to execute your w ill. And one reason I w ant the Republican party In pewer ence more Is because we are responsive te the W ill of the peeple of the United States and do not try to toll you th at w hat one man thinks ia neceeeary." 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 be President or simple citizen, Is not complicated in Mr. Harding’s mind. He says: W . K. J o h n so n , L ocal M an ager Tum-A-Lum Lumber Company “Aa I said at the outset, government le a very simple thing, government la only the regulation of eur relationships to one an other. The government's first task le the protectlen of the m inority against auteoreoy, or the domination ef the m ajority th at some times forgets the rights of the m inority.* “ I am preaohlng the gospel ef popular representative gevernment In the United States, a government that does net know any class anywhere In all this Republic." In hia speeches and in hia daily life, run ning for the Presidency or running his coun fry newspaper,. Senator Harding is just an everyday American neighbor. This is what he says, as he bids farewell to a crowd of friends: “ I am very happy to tee you all thia morn ing. Ae I have eaid, I want you te knew me, and I am delighted to know you. W e are going to work together for the good of the United States, and wn are going to hold America first in all our thought# and In all our actions." W o m e n V o tin g . Women especially have reason to con gratulate themselves on the fact that Senator Harding will be the next President. Their sons are taken in war. Their hus bands and fathers are taxed to pay for war. They spend the lonely hour* of dreadful anxiety, while the son is away. They, above all, are interested in having for President such a man as Senator Harding. ■ He does not believe that foreign powers should be allowed to conscript A merican boye 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 of our making. Senator Harding does not believe that thia country should be taxed to finance the am bitions or the land greed of foreign nations, and as he believes, so the earnest men and women of this country believe. > When you cast your vote for Senator H ard ing, you will vote for YOUR KIND OF MAN, the intelligent, straighforward. unpretentious American citizen. President Harding will be an American President, not an international President. x You will have in the White House a man of constructive mind, a plain American with no drt'ams of world dominion, but with a set tled determination to restore normal con ditions and normal prosperity to this country. A f t e r th e W a r . After a war that has destroyed old con ditions, cost many lives, squandered many billions in reckless extravagance and dis honesty, and weakened respect for the Con stitution, you need for President a straight forward, constructive American. • And you will have such a man in the White House after the 4th of next March, for that the Preeident of the United States will be Warren G. Harding, your kind of man, one that you would gladly trust with your affairs, and the affaire of your country.
