Opens Arms
To Harding
(Continued from page on?)
, glcd to keep the gathering from brcak
] ing the lines they had drawn and from
sweeping on to the Harding lawn and
engulfing the camera men poised there.
Senator and Mrs. ?Harding walked
through this: wide lane of friends and
then up their front, steps to the
porch. There Mrs. Harding embraced
a white-haired woman with a young
face. Miss Abigail Harding, the Sen?
ator's sister, who teacnes English in
the High School.
Greeted by Relatives
The Senator whs embraced by sev?
eral other women relatives and then
inside the door a white-haired old man,
stooped of shoulder and wearing a
Falm Beach suit, beckoned with a sun
browned stubby forefinger and Mrs.
Harding got a real kiss from her
father-in-law, Dr. George T. Harding.
The Republican party's nominee for
President walked into the dark of the
! house and was grabbed by this same
old man and Kissed like a little boy.
"W. G." and ois dad didn't linger in
the reception hall, but the crowd hung
about and shook hands and clapped
each other on the back and pointed
the noses of their ^offspring skyward
to look at the pair of airplanes buzzing
overhead.
There were only abomit 300 persons in
this gathering, but csvoryonc of them
who wasn't kin to the [Hardings counted
himself or herself a warm personal
friend. They were foKks who could tell j
what sort of treatment the Senator cots
from Mrs. Harding when he has a
rold and what they eat. foe breakfast
Sunday mornings, though perhaps only j
: a few of them could tel.1 off-hand how j
j he voted on the railroad* bills or what j
j he thinks about a merchant marine.
The Senator was asked about the
I front porch campaign and if be had
1 changed his mine! since Senator Boies
Pen rose gave an interview In which he
said l.e thought tin? nomrinec ought to
travel about the country.
"Senator Penrose is very wise," re?
joined Senator (larding, "but. I have
1 some impressions about; this myself.
! Nothing is unalterable, but my judg?
ment 's that the campaign will be here.
; 1 have very rtrong convictions about
?the kind of campaign I want.
"Those of my friends that I would
j be expected to take counsel of think
'well of the front porch campaign. I <
havo been a ration-wide campaigner.,
i but now I am a nation-wide candidate!
i and that is another thing."
The Senator was told that in a re- i
j cent newspaper article it had been said j
that a committee of four of the exocu- '
| five committee had been selected to do- ;
j cide important questions of the cam- i
I paign. This article named former !
; Senator John W. Weeks, of Massa
: ehusetts; A. T. Hert, of Kentucky;
Charles D. Hillos. of New York, and
Harry Daughorty, the Senator's pro
convention campaign manager, as the
! super-committee.
"If there was any such committee,"
: said Senator Harding, "it would in?
clude Will Hays. Mr. Hays won't be
superseded as director of the cam?
paign.
Individuals Don't Count
"There has been some talk of a :
super-committee to act on matters of
budget and other questions requiring
i immediate action when It is impossible
j to get a quorum of the executive com- '
mittce. As far as I know this commit- ':
| tee has not been named. There has
j been nothing formal "
The Senator was asked if the ft ont j
j porch campaign would bo altered Tf I
j William C. McAdoo should be nomi- I
i nated by the Democrats.
"Individuals don't count with us," he !
' replied. "I don't mean that in any in- '?
considerate way. This is not to he a :
campaign of personalities. This is to :
he essentially a conflict of parties, as j
far as I can make it. You know my
policy is the restoration of party gov
ernment. It -would be foolish to say '?
that I won't make nny speeches away ;
from Marion. There are three or four !
occasions that appeal to me as ap- '
propriate for talks away from here,
but even then I don't expect them to i
be campaign utterances."
The Senator added that the campaign {
would be director! from Chicago, and
that Tie expected to do his part at
Marion with the assistance of the
j newspaper correspondents."
It wouldn't have been such nn easy |
! matter for the Senator to have gotten
into the house either if the greater
| part c-f the crowd hadn't been lured to
i the fair grounds by a rumor that Sena
I tor Harding would go there. Out
there were thousands nnd thousands of
I people from Waldo, Del., where the
! Hardii?gs stopped for luncheon and
'were cheered on their way home, and
Columbus, where ho served as Lieuten?
ant Governor, after several terms in
the state Legislature.
Word cam.? out of the house that the
Senator did not expect to reappear until
(J o'clock, when Dick Crissitiger, the
town's biggest Democratic lawyer,
would deliver n speech of welcome from
the front porch and the nominee, or
rather their neighbor, would reply.
Finally most of the crowd disap?
peared, though a never-ending proces
! sion strolled past the home, pausing
i to stare at the house or to exchange a
word with those fortunates who find
themselves living next (itior, or across
j the street, from the Harding home
land who had a grand time to-day in
their porch rockers.
H-A-R-D-I-N-G Everywhere
Downtown the streets were crowded,
and the police, aided by a swarm ol
civilians wearing deputy sheriff badges
and carrying hickory sticks, were en?
deavoring to try out a new traffic con?
trol system on the swarm of stran c
motor cars. In every show winde?
: was a picture of Harding. The Greel
1 candy store proprietor had created f
'portrait of Harding in sugar, with eye
I brows of shredded cocoanut. Jollcy
i the barber, where Senator Harding at
ways gets shaved, had a board the siz.
of a table leaf in his window, and ha<
the letters "H-A-R-D-I-N-G" spelle,
out in cakes of shaving soap. In ha
kery windows were tremendous cake
with "Harding" spelled out in tlv
icing. Short-trousered boys wor
round, muti-colored felt hats with th
seven magic letters on the front.
Shortly before (5 o'clock the Mario
Band appeared in light, blue uniform;
the drum major, Chris. Preunninge
?earing hussar boots that reache
above his knee and a white buckski
hat so heavy thai he walked with th
peculiar .stride of one who juggle
great weight;-, on his head.
The band began to play "Sempe
Fidel is" and marched past "The Stai
office, closed for the day. out Moui
Vernon Avenue to the Harding horn
It was a signal and Hie crowd traile
along. The sidewalks radiating fro:
the Harding home were filled with me
women and children in their Sundt
clothes and in some other respects tin'
suggested people on their way i
church.
They were all going to the san
place and by 0 o'clock the street bio.
in which the house is situated w.
swarming. All vehicular traffic w.
diverted. Before the Senator's hoi:
was a soiid mass of people who cover,
his lawn, the sidewalk, the street ai
the lawns opposite. The side yard
the Hardings was tilled and the ero-,
also covered the lawns of the hous
on either side. It was n crowd
families, about every other m
leaned to one side from the effort
holding a child above the heads of t
throng.
Senator Harding came out on t
porch and there was a cheer tl
needed no leader. Before it died au
others had appeared on the porch a
taken up places back against the hou
conspicuous among them. Mrs. Ha
ing. the aged Dr. Harding, M
Abigail Harding and C. B. Kli
brother of Mrs. Harding. There w<
other kinfolks, a policeman who 1
out of place in such a conspicui
spot and Jimmy Sloan, who Iia3 gro
somewhat used to Presidents.
The Speech of Welcome
There also was Crissingcr, who '
to deliver the speech of welcome, p
Crissingcr is a Democratic lawyer n
but ?le went to school with Hard
in Caledonia, about thirteen m
from here, and they learned to cl
tobacco from the same plug.
The cheering stopped except for <
bursts from individuals who shot:
"Bully boy!" or simply "Harding!'
Then Crissingcr began.
"This is a great year and
supreme hour in our civic life." Tl
was more cheering.
"As 1 look into your faces I see i
of every vocation, of every creed
every political faith."
Mr. Crissingcr told them that
Senator Tiarding had to make a choice
between his legions of friends and the
Presidency he would cling to his
friends, and they hiul to cheer ntjain.
He referred to the dead mother of the
gray-haired, busy-eyed man who stood
there, with his hands clasped behind
his back.
"You will remember that this good
mother reared him to be President;
nothing was more certain to her and
with her watchful eyes she clearly saw
the next President of the United
States. ("In every Sunday morn this
man of the world never became go
great or busy that he forgot to take
(lowers to that mother's lap."
Then Mr. Crissinger referred to Mis.
Florence Harding, the wife, and told
how this daughter of a wealthy mer?
chant turned in to help her young hus?
band make a success of "The Marion
Star," how she marshaled the news?
boys that delivered the paper and then
he said:
"Like? the late Presidents ? Grant,
Harrison, Hayer and McKinley all
wons of Ohio, the Senator is of Revo?
lutionary stock and of humble but
strong parentage, and reared in his
boyhood days on a farm. The illus?
trious Garfield, as a bare-footed hoy,
drove a mule on an Ohio canal. Our
distinguished townsman rode a mule
from his country home to school in
town and I admonish you, my fellow
citizens, that he will ride the Demo
cratie mule into the White House in
November as proof of the Republican
victory."
Senator Harding laughed aloud and
there was a %hout from some one in the
crowd: "That's pretty strong for a
De ni oc i a t. C r i bs i n gor."
Theic was more .speech and more
cheers and finally Senator Harding be?
gan to speak, but not until he had
walked from one end of his porch to
the oiner, to satisfy t.h? insistent de?
mands on the part of tito crowd in
the background, to let them see him
more closely.
Senator's Address (o Neighbors
Senator Harding's address follows:
"Dear friends and neighbors:
"There is a conflict of emotions in
responding- to your cordial welcome
home. It is always good to come
home, no matter whither ono lias gone
or what the revolving fates have
wrought during one's absence.
"It is a littl" difficult to make n
choice among thoughts impelling, For
thirty-eight years we have been friends
and neighbors here in Marion, and only
a few miles away are the treasured
scenes of birth and boyhood. Sonic
of them have been recalled and record?
ed, very rocentyl. with a touch of ?mag
ination, I f>ar, because the real story
is a very ordinary one and might
be related concerning any of us, but
that doesn't in any way mar the un?
derstanding amone; home folk.
"There can be no mistaken appraisal
of our relationship. It is too extend?
ed, too intimate, too thoroughly
stamped by community interest. You
and I. all of us Marionitcs, have been
boosting this Marion of ours together
for considerably more than thirty
years, and have shared in varying de?
grees the achievements attending its
development.
"The thought of development and
progress, a desire to find our place on
the man of Ohio, inspired us, and there
was common interest in spite of the
seeming selfishness attending rewards
"We were all boosters together, lie
cause it is an engaging pursuit. An;,
distinction which came to me in that
connection was eine to the accident ol
my occupation as a publisher rat lie i
than any spirit peculiarly my own. VVi

was our game, and we boosted becausi

Inter ended in failure. Four years
lut? r on you came once more, and we
did succeed, and I was honored with a
commission to the Federal Senate,
v here any man might well prefer to
?eiiorin his part, in public service.
"It is impossible to convey my re?
luctance to leave tho Senate, and just
now ? have come to realize thai I am
leaving, no matter how the elections
dicide. But the thouirht I want to
emphasize with every stamp of grati?
tude is that you have come with your
greetings again ana again, and yet
again, and you come this afternoon
with a manifestation of friendship and
confidence which must lili any human
heart to overflowing. I am so truly
grateful, I feel it all so deeply, that |
wordy fail to convey all the apprecia?
tion in my heart.
Primary Supreme Expression
"Rut I must tell you the thing old
Marion County did which is the su?
preme compensation to me. It isn't so
expressive to applaud a victorious can?
didate, but you test the metal of real
friendship when one ?m initiating a
candidacy. Last April, when the pri?
mary was invoked to bespeak Ohio's
preference, this old county gave to me
that neighborly and friendly support
which is the nearest approach to 100
per cent loyalty 1 have ever seen ac?
corded to any one. That, was the
supreme expression. If I could
have but one. if 1 had to choose be?
tween that tribute of tho home county
and the final vote in the national con?
vention, I would choose the home
county expression of confidence, be?
cause your knowing me made it the
finest tribute to which one may aspire.
"Frankly, \ like your rejoicing over
a mort? than usual tribute to a fellow
townsman. 1 iike it because it is in
consonance with our Marion policy.
Perhaps it is in the minds of some of
you to wonder that we succeeded, and
the thought is not exclusively yours,
even if I have guessed correctly. You
?/lew the great institution of Federal
government from afar, in that
reverence which is the chief security
of the Republic.
Opposes One-Man (?overnment
"God help us to rivet that reverence
more firmly. It will not destroy it,
it will only clarify that reverence and
add to you.?- confidence if I tell you,
after clos?? range observation, that
government is no! of supermen, but of
normal men, very much like you and
me, except that those in authority are,
or ought to be, broadened and
strengthened in measuring up to great
responsibilit v.,
"fiOt me say to you, friends and
neighbors - ay? , let me say it to any
who may be noting our exchange of
greetings to-day if I Oelieved in one
man government, if I believed the
superman were? necessary to appeal to
the sober sense of the Republic and
ask our people to plant their feet in
secure and forward paths once more,
I would not be here in the capacity
which has inspired your greetings.
Normal men and hack to normality will
steady a civilization which has been
fevered by the supreme upheaval of all
the world.
"Government is a very natural thine,
and in most instances ought to be
a very normal nnd deliberate proceed?
ing. Not always, of course, because
great emergencies and crises mark all
the vicissitudes of life. Normal men
rise to meet them, else they never j
would be met.
A Plural Leadership
"Perhaps I best can convey my
thought by reverting to the community
of endeavor which made the city wo
rejoice to boast of. No superman did it,
no one man did it. We worked to?
gether; we counseled one another; we
consulted men stamped with leader?
ship, and in these processes we have
achieved and rejoice thereat. Now
make the application.
"This wonderful land of ours is but
the aggregate of communities, the sum
total of cities, villages and farms; and
the mutuality of interest and the nec?
essary harmony of purpose, if we are
to go on, must lie in conference, in
council, in the concord of many minds,
in the wisdom of plural leadership, in
the never-failing righteousness of in?
telligent public opinion-not in the
glory of the superman.
"But I did not mean to ein ft to
things which have the savor of poli?
tics or the seriousness of governmental
problems. Let us forget candidacies
and political problems and drink only
the grateful waters of home fellow?
ship and renew the intimacy of ac?
quaintance which five years of practi?
cally continuous public service have
very, very much impaired. We are to
be neighbors in fact once more; not
with all the oldtime freedom, alas! hut
let us cling to the naturalness which
bespeaks reality.
"The day, the occasion, the presence
of the Republic's defenders in the
World War, aye, and of veterans of the
Spanish-American War and the War
for the Union and nationality all com?
bine to remind me you have been ob?
serving the anniversary of the Repub?
lic's independ? nee. Let us pledge our?
selves anew, eme and all. that this her?
itage, handed to us through the hero?
ism and sacrifices of the founding fath?
ers, shall be held sacred, unabridged
and undimmed, anel American national?
ity shall be the inspiration of the myr?
iads of Americans of the future even
as it stirs our hearts to-day."
