PHOKE 58.
The governor had a number of pet
mannerisms, which help him to "put
over" his arguments. He shakes his
head and flashes his eyes open and
shut to arouse ont form of emotion
and stamps his right foot when mak
ing an attack.
Tricks All his Own.
Other oratorical tricks used by the
candidate are ail his own. ' A re
markable voice inflection, reinforced
by a happy smile and the full power
of his own personality, ofttlmes car
ries to a crowd the meaning of what
he is saying before he can put his
line ot thought into words.
He delights In telling his audience
he Bpeaks their language. And he la
probably at his best when he has to
answer a difficult question right off
the bat.
.Here Is a typical illustration or
how he handles a heckler.
A man at Topeka, Kansas, shouted
from the gallery that what the can
didate was saying "would please Ku-
gene v. Debs more than anybody I
snow or. '
ah ngnt, tnat a line," the gov-
nor reionea. "I am hannr to ulease
anybody, especially a man behind the
uars.
In the private car the governor ap
pears reposed and satfsfled. but on
the stump he is a human dynamo. He
has calned weight under the wear
ana tear of bis long camDalen trios
Since his nomination he made nearly
three hundred speeches, his high rec
ord being sixteen in one day. Sat
urday, In Southern Indiana, he spoke
iouneen limes, oeing on his feet, al
together full eight hours. A lyiupa
tneic crowd reems to insnlre him
and his night speeches always are his
nest.
Take Long Walks.
That he has been able to stand the
strain is due tn large part to the fact
mill no taxes peneci pnysiral care
of himself. He Indulges In all forms
of outdoor exercise but does not go
in ior any or tne rads. Onoe In a
while he slips away from the train
and takes a long walk through out-
oi-me-way places where he is not
likely to be recognized.
He carries with hlrn an allendant
who Is a masseur. During a stren
uous day he will take several mM
showers and rub-downs and change
clothes and "come up smiling-' and
reireenea.
Another contributing factor to the
governor's perfect physlclal condition
is nis aDliity to a eeo. Slept, t. a
ousmess with him, as much a work
or campaigning. Hia disposition is
carefree when not on the Job and he
can drop Into a chair and be snor
ing in a minute. He refuses to let
anything worry him.
When caught asleep at a slation
where he is scheduled to speak he
springs to his feet, brushes his hair
back over his head, and starts for the
plaiform all in one motion.
Before going to sleep at night the
governor reads the dally papers. The
first thing he looks for now are the
accounts of the world series baseball
games. He Is an ardent fan and re
fused to believe the scandal stories
until th players themselves confessed.
Copies Given Out.
As soon aa the speech is completed
copies are made for distribution to
the twenty or more correspondents
traveling on the car Just ahead of
the candidate's and the business of
supplying the campaign utterances of
the Republican nominee to the world
has begun.
In being able thus to Isolate him
self for short periods In the prepara
tion of his long addresses, delivered
for the most part In large cities, Sen
ator Harding receives the able assis
tance of Mrs. Harding. She accom
panies her husband on all his trips,
taking an Intimate interest In poli
tics meets all visitors and chats with
them. In the words of the candi
date, "She is as good a campaigner
as I am."
Senator Harding believes firmly in
the old adage about the early bird.
He Is up and going always by seven
