I practicing physician in Marion. O. J
iespite his advanced age of seventyaine

Elizabeth Dickerson Harding c,
Mr. Hording was ? self-made man l?? u
She best sense >{ rn?? ptirase. H._ p
worked on his granlr.?fher'? form and
RfJ^nde-rTn*1 village school until he a
fcas^fotirteen years old. and then he f,
BBcerea in*' u.nio v.??iiirai coujvv at j
[hernia. 11?- worked h^T"wuy through v
that Institution by "cutting corn, paint- J
Ing his neighbors' bams and helping jt
cm the grading of the roadbed of the w
? & 0_ a railroad He also played in ,]
the village band and was editor of the jt
college paper. ^ p
When he graduated from thd allege.
'Warren went to work In the village
printing office At the tlm?? he tl
was nineteen years old. his father t]
moved to Marion with the family and o
there aided Warren flnaneiallv in gain- a
Ing control of the Marion Star, of vv
which he was publi her until after he t,
sssune (I the office of president of th? >,
Culled States. Already he knew how 3
to set type and to do nil the other rl
duties of a printer, and when the lino- aj
type was introduced he learned to op- t|
rrate that machine Always he earried
as a pocket piece the printer's -j
rule he used in those days. .]
The Star was his idol and he was tl
very proud of It and of the more than o:
friendly relations that existed bo- <>
tween him and his employees There a<
was never a strike on the paper, and ! t!
about fourteen years ago he instituted h
a profit-sharing plnn whereby the . m- i o
plovees received dividends that were I ti
paid them in the form of stock in 'he tl
paper Mr. Hardirg was Identified b
also with the industries that sprang ?
op in Marion as it grew from a town b
to 4.000 to a city of more than 30.000. 1
Ho was a director in a bank and in H
several manufacturing companies, and 1
was a trustee of Trinity Baptist
church. s
His Rice In Polities. ^
As editor and publisher of a lively *
Remihllcan nnner it was inevitable 1 o
that Mr. Harding should i:?k? an ar* ! h
live interest In politics. and his attain* J ii
ments brought him to the front in the ' i
state. H?* was a member of the Ohio j I'
senate from 1000 to 1904, and then a
served as lieutenant governor of the ti
state. In 1910 he was the Republican t
nominee for governor, hut was defeat* r
t?d. In 1915 he was sent to the Unit* d
States senate, serving until 1920, when
lit? resigned to make the campaign for | o
the presidency. In tho preconvention i
campaign that year he had been
looked on as one of the possible norai- h
Dees for the high office, hut his defeat r
!n the primaries for election of dele, r
gates from Ohio seemed to spoil his a
rhances. However, the conservative ?s
leaders of the Republican party pre- ,
vailed In the gathering in the Chicago r
Coliseum, and Mr. Harding was nomt- v
nated. Ills campaign was based large. c.
ly on opposition to American partlcl* f
pat Ion In the League of Nations, and L
was so successful that in tho election f
of November 4 he received 404 eloe- h
toral votes to 127 for James M. Cox. n
tho Democratic nominee. He was in- r
augurated March 4. 1921. with a de- r
gree of simplicity in the ceremonies c
that pleased the American people. I
Classed, when in the senate, as a o
conservative. President Harding did fnot
depart markedly from conservative
lines when in the White House, t
though his supporters always said he 1
was as progressive as the good of the t
country warranted and as conditions r
permitted. He. like President Roose- c
it. had a great coal miners' strike on t
l is hands, and labored hard and with
a measure of success to bring it to a
peaceful and just end. *j

his administration was the great inter- ^

The President arrived at Seattle
July 27 and reviewed from the bridge
of the Henderson a fleet of a dozen or
so battleships under ormnnand of AA
mlral H. P. Jones, each of which gave
him the national salute of twenty-one
guns. Even then he was suffering
from the ailment that resulted in hta
J death, and soon after that the rest ol
his trip, which was to Include a return
to the East via the Panama canal. wa?
cancelled.
President Harding made a public ad
dress at Seattle, setting forth bis views
on the Alaskan situation Some of his
points were these:
"Alaska for Alaskans."
"There is no need of government
! managed, federally paid-for ho-hous*
development . . . there must be
reckless sacrificing of resources."
"Alaska Is destined for statehood Iv
a few years."
"Where there Is possibility of betterment
in federal machin'... of admin
istratlon. improvement mould and will
bo effected." i
Other conclusions presented by Pret
ident Harding were:
That generous appropriation should
lie made for road building.
That the federal government should
he more liberal in encouraging the
technical, scientific and demonstration
work in agriculture.
That restriction should be laid os
the fisheries and on the forests.
That the development of tho coal
{mines must await time and economic
I conditions.
That ?he government should retain
:ownership and op> ration of the Adaskan
railroad.
