November 2. 1865, the son of a coun try doctor. George T. Harding. Like most country hoys he went to coun try school between morning and night chores and later attended col lege at Deria. Ohio. He tried school teaching for a year, hut having had a smell of printers' Ink while stick ing type for his col Iff ge paper; the lure drew him Into the newspaper field. His family meantime had moved to Marlon, In an adjoining county,] when- he obtained his first newspa per Job, and where his life Interests ?were centered thereafter. Mr. Hard ing's ambition was to bcome a pub lisher, and It was realized at the age of 19 when he bid in the Marion Star at a sheriff's" sale. The paper was purchased under a heavy mortgage and his friends have often said that /the struggles and hardships which' ?were his iu making this paper a suc cess had much to do in fashioning' his character and developing a broad patience and tolerance which were his chief characteristics. Whatever his other attainments,' ? "Mr. Harding's greatest prld?- was In his professional accomplishments and training as printer, editor and publisher. Nor did the Interests and exacting duties of his high office serve to dull his delight in potter ing about a composing room. On his first trip back home after big Inaug uration, he went to the Star office, pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, borrowed a chew of tobacco r~\ndTlelped "make up" the paper. His lutrtr charm was a printer's rule, car ried always In a vest pocket. As his ambition had carried him Into the ranks of publishers, so his fancy took him into the realm of pol itics. From the first he was an ar II dent partisan, and his insistence up on wearing a "stove pipe" liat. the badge of support of James G. Blaine, while a reporter on a Democratic newspaper brought him a sharp rep-J rimand from his chief, who held It to be Inconsistent for a worker on a Democratic paper to so prominently display the symbol of his Republi canism. The future President's ability as a stump speaker won him early recog nition from his local party leaders. 1 Marion County then was In the Dem ocratic column and lie undertook to switch it to the Republican party.' but his first effort at office on his party ticket resulted In a defeat, though he commaudrd an unexpected vote. Mr. Harding's first political office was that of Ohio State Senator, to which he was elected at the age ofj' 34. He served two terms and later was elected Lieutenant Governor of his state. In 1910 he sought the i governorship, but was defeated. Four years later lie was elected to the I'nited States Senate, where he served si* years, much of the time J as a member of the important For- j elgn Relations Committee.
