Most Republicans are satisfied with Senator Harding
as their Candidate for president, but H. S. Daly, a Silver-
ton man, is the champion ‘ ‘hero-worshiper” . He ascribes
to Senator Harding the sagacity of Washington, the fore
sight o f Jefferson, the courage of Jackson, the love o f |
freedom of Lincoln, the unerring statemanship of Me-!
Kinley, and the firmness and progressivenesS of Roose
velt—a somewhat overwhelming enumeration o f human
qualities. Daly may be able to fool himself that way, but
he can’t fool Harding!
