HARDING'' AS
A CANDIDATE
Great Man With 1 "Langwidge"
Which Has A Bad Re
flex On Campaign
OBLIGATED TO OLD GUARD
AND IS A STANDPATTER
Washington Writer Talks On
Republican Nominee In Light
of Political History How
"Langwidge" Hurt Greeley.
(By Savoyard).
Senator Harding is a thorough mas
ter of that the late Tom Reed sneer--ingly
called "langwidge," and when he
slings the King's English he is a
thoroughly desperate bull in a delicate
china shop. His imagination, too, is
as riotous as his speech is reckless, as
one observes when reading his elo
quence in the Republican national con
vention of 1912, presenting the name
of William Howard Taft. According
to Harding, Mr: Taft is a composite
of Lincoln's wisdom and patience, of
U. S. Grant's modesty and courage,
of R, B. Hayes' temperance and do
cility, of James A. Garfield's patriot
ism and intellectuality, of Chester A.
Arthur's deportment and generosity,
of Ben Harrison's legal lore, of Wil
liam Ilclvinley's intrepidity and phil
anthropy, md of Thepdore Roose
velt's progressive politics.
There was a day when such school
boy oratory did very well on the
stumpy bat the American people have
never chosen such an orator for Pres
ident of the United States. Here is
another sample of Mr. Hading's eio
quence:
"I had rather break the heart of
the world than kill the soul of Ameri
ca." If that was anything in the world
other than "langwidge" it would be
a tremendous impious expression.
Of course it would be injustice to say
that Harding meant any of the wick
edness the word express; he was only
"shooting of his mouth" blissfully
thoughtless of the atrocity cf its
meaning. . ,
How would it be possible for one tu
save his own soul by breaking hearts?,
No Christian ever started to or got to
Heaven by that road. True, Tamer
Ian and Ghengis Khan expected to
reach a blissful immortality by break
ing the hearts of millions of human
beings; but they were monsters of
savagery who reveled in the misery of
man. There is nothing in the gospel
of Christ to warrant a theory such as
Senator Harding gives expression to
in the foregoing quotation from his
"langwide."
And Harding is a Christian. If' he
were to reflect a moment he would
have nothing but horror for. the things
his "langwidge" implies. I have no
doubt that ours would be a far better
world than it is if every human being
in it were as happy as Warren G.
Harding would have him or her be.
What I see in his eloquence is the de
plorable fact that he. is. given to
speech without thought. We have
never had that sort of a President
H
yet. ,
Harding, it seems, is aware of the
danger of thoughtless speech, and he
voenlntplv declines to say a word
about pqlitics until the notification
ceremonies are'put on the stage. Then
he will talk, and you can bet the "Old
Guard" will first write what he has to
say. In the campaign of 1912 Mr.
Harding was frequently on the raging
stump. Occasionally he gave his opin
ion of the late Theodore Roosevelt,
whom he likened to one Benedict Arn
old of accursed memory. That went
very well when Teddy was the Bull
Moose candidate for President; but it
would be flat blasphemy in 1920. Mr.
Harding is editor of a newspaper and
there are Democrats who say that the
files of his paper afford valuable Dem
ocratic campaign literature in im
mense quantity. That will be history
repeating itself, for in 1872 the. New
York' Tribune, files were used' with
with deadly effect against Horace
Greeley, who was the Democratic can
didate for President. The whole coun
try was plastered over with this quo
tation from an editorial in The Trib
une by Greeley:
"All Democrats are not horse
thieves; but all horse-thieves are
Democrats." '
The late John M. Harlan of Ken- i
tucky was then one of the most pow
erful stump speakers our country.
ever produced, and mainly by his comrjj
ments on Tribune? editorials the Dem
ocratic plurality in Kentucky in 1872
was but 8,000, whereas it had been
80,000 four years earlier.
As in 1916, the "issue in the 1920
campaign is largely in the hands of
the Bull Moose element that was a
big majority, of the G. O. P. in 1912.
Mr. Hughes was ten times less a
Standpatter than Harding, but the
Bull Moosers of the trans-Mississippi
re-elected Woodrow Wils6h President.
In 1916 everybody knew that if elect -
ed President Charles E. Hughes would
have repudiated and defied the Old
Guard. In 1920 everybody knows
that Warren G. Harding . owes his
nomination to the Old Guard,, that Tie
is the Old Guard's ideal as a states
man and that, if elected, he will be
as" sub-serveant to the Old Guard as
ever servant was to master. Every
body knows that.
What do Kansas, Nebraska, Minne
sota, Washington, California, and the
other. Bull Moose communities of the
West think of it?
We shall see in November.

Charlotte, June 23.Invading Char
lotee, Cameron Morrison's own baili
wick tonight Lieut. Gov. O. Max Gard
ner addressed a crowd numbering sev-
eral thousand. Every seat in the
J courthouse was filled while the crowd
stood five deep abut the huge room.
Several hundred were turned away
while hundreds 'of others stood about
the lawn in front of the cout house
shouting, "Come out Governor we
want to "hear -you." Enthusiasm of the
real American brand was rampant
throughout the meeting and the Lieu
tenant Governor was interrupted time
and . again by the cheering and shouts
of his hearers.
The evening was enlivened "by se
lections by a bross band. J. H. Ross,
a Page leader in the first primary, in
troduced Mr. Gadner as the next "Gov
ernor while the crowd arose and
cheered."
In opening his address, Mr; Gard
ner said: "If any of these assembled
here this evening came to hear me
say one word against the character
of Mr. Morrison, they will leave great
ly disappointed, for I have entered the
campaign with a clean heat and. clean
hands and I am going to leave it in
the same manner.
"I understand that it has been stat
ed on the streets of Charlotte that I
had challenged Mr. Morrison to de-
bate. The first I knew .or even
thought of such a contest was when
I read reports in Sunday's press
which quoted Mr. Morrison as chal
lenging me in a vague way to debate.
I accepted the challenge, of course,
and we will meet in Raleigh Monday
night."
"If Mr. Morrison challenged me on
the theory that I expected to debate
on pei-sonalities he was . greatly mis
take. Although reports in The Char
lotteyObserYej: anilabout; thestreets
of the city state that I have attacked
Mr. Morrison personally, I wish to say
to you that these reports"' are abso
lutely untrue. I am willing to leave
it to the people of North Carolina who
have heard me speak whether or not
I have in any way even attempted to
vilify Mr. Morrison.
"Some of Morrison's friends have
also stated that it was wrong for me
to speak in Morrison's own county.
If those people could see this seething
mass of humanity thee tonight I be
lieve they would change their minds."
(prolonged chcars).
"Mr. Morr'son is perfectly wTelcome
to go to my county and I guarantee
that he will be given a proper recep
tion and treated "royally."
Mr. Gardner concluded his speech
with a tribute to the great and com
plete platform of the Democratic
party in North Carolina on which he
stands. He was kept busy fr nearly
an hour following his speech, shak
ing hands with friends, new and old.
Aberdeen, June 23. Moore county
gave a warm reception to Cameron
Morrison when he spoke here tonight
and at Carthage this afternoon. Both
speeches were heard by crowds which
completely filled the buildings in
which the gubernatorial 'candidate
spoke and those hearing him were ex
ceptionally demonstrative. The re
ception in this county today and that
mi Montgomery county yesterday were
declared to have been as warm as he
hes received anywhere in . the State:
At Mt. .Gilead in Mntgomery county
last night he' was heard by fully one
thousand people, many coming from
Rockingham and Wadesboro and .from
neighboring communities.
He was introduced to his audience
at Carthage this afternoon by U. L.
Spence, one of the leading dawyers
of this section, and a Morrison cham
pion. Mr. Spence, who was instru
mental in oganizing a Morison club
in his town which now has a member
ship of over five hundred paid the
candidate an excellent tribute holding
him as a man of irreproachable char
acter and a gentleman among men.
He is worthy of a place among tne
list of North Carolina's greatest
statesmen, he said, pening;his address
at Carthage. .
Mr. Morrison stated that recently
circumstances had arisen which had
made him particularly gateful for the
reception given him and the many
manifestations of friendship.
He did not -discuss campaign' issues
in. his address at Carthage or here.
The court room at Carthage was elab-oately-
decorated , for ' the' occasion by
fllowers and flags and the hall in
which he spoke here was decorated for
the occasion. He speaks in Jones
boro tomorrow afternoon and at Rae
ford, Thursday night.

MARINES ON AMERICAN RIFLE
TEAM FOR OLYMPHI CONTEST
- Washington, ,D. C Twelve bold
yankees will, be shaking the shimmy
with a vengenance on the Beverloo
rifle range, close by to Antwerp, Bel
gium, when the Olymphic Rifle Match
begins on July 22. When' the rules
governing the match were received at
Quantico, Va., where the competition
or the American team was held on
the Marine Corps range, the Yankee
shots found themselves facing a
unique target at the 300 and 600
meter distance. The bull's eye con
tained an inner .bull, with a scoring
value of six instead of the convential
five.' How to signal the value of six
was the problem.
Major W. Dulty Smith . of the
Marines, the American team coach
solved the problem.' The scoring disk
which showed white on one side for
five, and red on tke other for a four,
was shown first white and then red.
"Shaking the shimmy" was the range
nickname that was promptly agreed
on by the nine Army, four Marine
Corps, two Navy and two civilians
who madethe team. So they'll be
"shaking the shimmy" in Belgium
with great frequency to the music of
rifle shots.

(Special to The Times-Dispatch.)
Lincoln, Neb., June 23.-Eliminating
all- possibly dangerous rival candi
dates for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency, William J. Bryan's.
The Commoner, pronounces judgment
on the aspirants as follows:
"President Wilson While vague
hints and suggestions have been
thrown out occasionally, no one claim
ing to speak for the President or near
enough to "him to be assumed to ex
press his wishes, has anndunced his
candidacy. He" need not be consider
ed." "William G. McAdoo He is handi
capped as. a candidate by his close re
lationship with the President and his
silence on the pece treaty. He is un
j.ble to call to his support those to
whom the President's candidacy ap
pealed with special force, and would
furnish an 'easy mark' for all of the
President's enemies. He has, how
ever, considerable strength ' among
wage-earners."
"Attorney-General Palmer He en
tered the campaign in a position to
deal sternly with the profiteers and
an expectant public stood ready to ap
plaud, but the profiteer seems to have
things air his own way and the Attorney-General
is now suffering from the
reaction. He is unfortunate, too, in
having to espouge the ratification of
the treaty without reservations."
"Governor Edwards I am unalter
ably opposed to his nomination."
"Governor Cox His friends will
urge him as a compromise between
the Edward's 'wets' and the 'bone
drys.' He will not do."
"Champ Clark He has his own
State (Missouri) behind him."
"Herbert Hoover He has eliminat
ed himself.'
"James W. Garard He has South
Dakota's support, and many personal
friends among other delegations."
"Vice-President Marshall He , has
weakened himself by a feeble bid for
the 'wet' vote."
Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, and
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith,
neither of whom is at all dangerous,
are described as "among the few
available men thus far mentioned."
The Commoner concluded with the
declartion that the nominee at San
Francisco "must be known to be for
woman suffrage, for prohibition and
against Wall Street."
The Commoner doesn't pick . the
man who should be nominated, but it
is believed here that it does not oppose
selection of William Jennings Bryan,
who, singularly enough, is for suf
frage and prohibition and eternally
opposed to the money power entrench
ed near Trinity Church, New York
City.
