SHIP OF STATE
IN NEW HANDS
PRESIDENT HARDING
NINTH CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Is the Eleventh Man To Be Elected to
That High Position From
State of Ohio
The head of the new administra­
tion which takes over the ship ot
state tomorrow has several interest­
ing incidents connected with his el­
ection.
He is the first president of
the United States to be elected to
that high office on his birthday, be­
ing 55 years old on last November
2nd.
He is also the first senator to
be elected to the presidency and was
swept into office by the largst plur­
ality accorded a presidential candi­
date in many years.
Mr. Harding, who will be the
twenty-ninth president of the United
States, is the seventh man to be el­
ected to that position from Ohio. No
president has resided west of Illinois.
President Harding is the seventh
president of Scotch-Irish paternal
ancestry.
Fifteen of our presidents
over a period of 133 years, have been
of English decent, three of Scotch,
one of Welsh and two of Dutch.
The average age of our presidents
at inauguration has been/66 years,
approximately, while the approxi­
mate average at death has been 66
years.
President Harding exemplifies the
rapid rise possible lfi American life
better than any of his predecessors.
He was not included in the 1414-15

A
feature which is causing trouble Is
the fact that by the most practicable
route while the two ends of the road
will be in Washington county, the
center will be in Tillamook county.
A solution would be that the latier
