very things' which have been described
as. Senator Harding'a - limitations and

be the agent of. the leaders of his party
"Let me be understood clearly- from
the veryyheginning;, he ald, "I believe

was the-' ia4entiori of v ' the- founding;

the effective aganoies through- which
hopes and '-aspiration and convictions
and- conscience may-be translated into

Senator Harding' said"no man ls-.bi&

was referring -wWolly- to his '-own- atti

' This misinterpretation of his words
caused Senator! Harding ome. troubled
embarrassments In no ' part of hts
speech did he sem to tal slightly. of
the opposition party or of Its leaders.
Senator Lodgd's peeohee had -been full
of these ironic allnsions vto -Wilson, but
the whole spirit of Senator- Harding" s5,
speeeh' contained nothingaspe reive nor
.even disputatious. He did stata- that
too much had gone away fnom congress
to the .executive; bub he. had' thealr of
stating It 'merely ai a histbrlc fact and
clear hl
y ht einl'nary to " making

got 'sympa'trle'tia' applause. '-Hfr got' it
when he said "I believe in a-cabinet of
thhighest Capacity" andrheii:3io'iaid
that 'the vicie-iresioeni wilV b isked to
participate'" he Beamed: to laj' emphasis
rather upon the power and dignity ol
congTees- than upon the "presidency.
' ' - Matte Good Impression
All-in ail; Senator Harding made a
most agreeable - -impression. You felt
sure that he 'had determinedt that there
Should b&. no false .pretenses,. He. had
the air of a man who was going to 4o
his beat and wte ip .going to make sure
te public should not expect frqyn him
any more than he was. able to give.
There was convincing evidence that "his
speech .was a deliberate and almost
laboreus? effort to' set down his ideas' ex
the. problems ahead of us and his ways
of meeting themV If the -country should
approve his ideas-- well and good, if
hey should npt approve, he 'would haVe
a clear conscience! X)ne felt sure that
the country wouidj see? the, slBcerity'ln
his speech, cectalnly the audience did.
H,e, did., th& best .'that fhis tpugbt could
pro4ce.. ajld' it turrd j but ,to be ep-
trmely gQod. His greatest wish seemeo
to be that .the.cpuntrsf ; should, under
stand' h. is attitude ' Clearl Ther was(
not at any point the', faintest . eyidenqe
qf -straddle or) of1 framing, his utter
ances as. an 'appeal for-popuiarity. :
'"That part pf the,.Bpee"Ch -which waa
devoted' to the league Of nations was
immeasurably rrjore satisfactory than
the. republican p.iatform on the same
sabjieetT fe was clear and unequivocal.
He- gave a square issue to the demo
crate ahdto all -others who belieye
iri thy Teage as '"Mr: Wilson believes;
in It: -In other 'respects'-' his statements,

his speech' wat decidedly- : agreeable.
Only a m&ti of reflecon in ' the- ex-'

ha.ve Wirltten lt 'If is : quite-possible
that the engaging qualify of his hu
mility and earnestness may have lent
added attsactiweness'to the quality of
