CONVENTION SELECTS
LEADERS OF STRENGTH
WHO STANDARD BEARERS ARE WHO WILL HEAD REPUB
LICAN TICKET IN GREAT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
WARREN G. HARDING.
Senator Warren G. Harding, who
received the nomination on Satur
day as candidate of the Republican
party for the presidency, was elect
ed a member of the United States
senate in 1914.
He served a term as lieutenant
governor of Ohio and two terms as
state senator from the Thirteenth
district. He has been a newspaper
publisher since 1884.
Senator Harding was born in
Blooming Grove, Morrow county,
Ohio, in 1865, and is married.
The News is not in possession of
a more extended sketch of the life
of Senator Harding, but will have
the desired information probably on
the next mail. In the meantime,
some idea of the man Who will head
the Republican national ticket in
November can be gathered from a
statement made by him several
weeks ago. “There will be no re
turn to pre-war conditions in indus
try or commerce,” he said. “For
us the ruled paths of trade have
been wiped out and new avenues
await. Old industrial problems have
been effaced. Capital and workmen
are facing a new order. The large
wage will abide—it has been the
legacy of war since our republic
began. If these comes with the
larger compensation to workmen not
only restored but also enhanced ef
ficiency it will mark a splendid ad
vancement. Without the added ef
ficiency it will prove a backward
step.”
CALVIN COOLIDGE.
Calvin Coolidge, present governor
of Massachusetts, who was nomin
ated by the Republican national
convention on Saturday as candi
date for the vice-presidency, was
born at Plympouth, Vermont, July
4, 1872. His people have been in
New England since 16110. He was
eddcated in the public schools of
Plymouth and in Amherst college,
from which he graduated in 1895.
Although Mr. Coolidge studied law,
he has given twenty-two of the
twenty-five years of his life since he
graduated from college in public
service. He has been elected six
teen times in twenty-two years to
public office. He began as a mem
ber of the Northampton (Mass.)
city council, then was city solicitor
for two years, then became state
representative for two years, then
mayor of Northampton for two
years, then state senator for four
terms, two of which he was presi
dent of the senate, then for three
years in succession was elected lieu
tenant-governor. In 1918 he was
elected governor, and last year was
re-elected by a majority that is al
most without parallel in the historj
of the old Bay State.
This constitues a record of public
service difficult to duplicate. H
means that Mr. Coolidge has become
an expert in the administration of
public affairs, both legislative and
executive.
During his six years in the Massa
chusetts legislature he was responsi
ble for wise and progressive legis
lation covering agriculture, industry,
transportation and municipal fin
ance. While always opposing Social
istic and revolutionary methods, he
has persistently advocated progress
according to the law of the land and
the principles of our Constitution.
Mr. Coolidge attracts and holds
the allegiance of his friends by
qualities which in other men have
been supposed to exert the exactly
opposite influence. He is famous
for his silence and for his thrift in
the use of words when he does
speak. While a member of the
Massachusetts senate he was on rec
ord as having made the shortest
speech of the session. Under his
leadership a bill had been defeated.
This was followed by a second bitl
which he believed ought to be de
feated. He rose and said, “Mr.
President, this is another proposi
tion of the same sort.” And that
speech killed the second bill.
I In his inaugural a few weeks ago
it was expected that he would dwell
at length upon the Boston police
| strike and his treatment thereof,
lie dismissed the whole matter in a
single sentence,: “it is too well
known to need rehearsal or com
ment.”
In reading Governor Coolidge’s
state papers and public addresses,
one is continually reminded of Ba
con’s Essays. There is a puritan
severity and simplicity of speech as
refreshing as it is unusual. The
words are cut like diamonds. He
will cover a whole program in one
sentence, as for distance in his re
cent message he informed the Massa
chusetts legislature that “the com
monwealth is less in need of new
laws than ever before.
Mr. Coolidge is of slender build,
tall, erect, with a fiber of mind and
body like refined steel. His hair is
almost red, indicating that the re
mark ot one of his friends had
some basis in reality when he said
that “Coolidge is cold outride, but
red-hot inside.”
Mr. Coolidge is extremely cau
tious and slow to reach conclusions.
He must know all sides and have
all the facts. He insists upon tak
ing his time to think the thing
through. Once, however, he arrives
at his decision, he is adamant in
resolute adherence to his purpose
and he acts with surprising swift
ness. Men trust his judgment ami
friend and foe know that his in
tegrity is absolutely unquestionable
He is a man of the people. He
has spent himself without stint ir
the service of his country. In £
: time when, if he had devoted his
extraordinary talents to the making
money he would have been rich, he
is probably as poor as when he be
gan his public career twenty-two
years ago.
When he was about to issue his
famous ultimatum in the police
strike, certain political advisers and
•personal friends labored earnestly
with him to dissuade him from a
course which they were convinced
would ruin his political future. “If
you do this,” they said, “it will de
stroy every prospect for your po
litical advance." “I presume it
may,” he said, as he dipped his pen
in the ink and signed his name to
the proclamation.
In the height of the police dis
turbance a correspondent was talk
ing with Mr. Coolidge in his office
in the state house and ventured a
word of sympathy for him in, the
difficulties with which he was con
fronted. His answer was character
istic: “There is little difficulty in
this situation. I know what is right
and all I have to do is to do right;
i but what worries me and exhausts
I
'my strength is to have questions
jcome to me for decision about which
neither I nor any one else can be
| certain as to what is right and what
is wrong.” While Mr. Coolidge is
^parsimonious in the use of words,
;it may be that for this very reason
his public utterances are a more
perfect expression of his inner life
jthan would otherwise be the case.
| Consider, then, the quality of a man
'whose deepest convictions are set
(forth in such phrases as follow:
Vital Words.
Take this from his inaugural ad
dress: "If we put all our emphasis
I on material prosperity, that pros
perity will perish and with it will
| perish our civilization. The best
I that is in man is not bought with
la price. To offer money only is to
| appeal to his weakness not his
I strength. Man is more than of the
i earth. He will not find his satis
faction in things that are of the
earth earthy. Employers and em
ployed must find their satisfaction
not in a money return, but in the
]service rendered; not in the quan
tity of goods, but in the quality of
character. Industry must be hu
manized, not destroyed. It must be
the instrument not of selfishness,
j but of service. Change not the law.
but the attitude of mind.”
In an address on Daniel Web
ster, Governor Coolidge said: “The
doctrine of the Declaration of Inde
pendence is that the rights of cit
izens are to be protected with every
power and resource of the- state,
and a government that does any
less is false to the teachings of that
I great document. Above all, the
call of duty, the pledge of fortune
'and of life, nobility of character
' through nobility of action—this is
! Americanism.”
Our Economic System Right.
His attitude toward our foreign
relations is found in this statement:
“I believe that partisanship should
stop at the boundary line, but 1
assert that patriotism should begin
there.” In speaking of industry as
related to democracy, he says:
‘‘Democracy not only ennobled man,
i,t has ennobled industry. We are
working towards the day when in
our industrial life equal honor shall
fall to equal endeavor, whether it
be exhibited in the office or in the
shop. With security of personal
rights has come security of property
rights. It takes service and sacri
fice to 'maintain ideals. Democracy
is not a tearing down, it is a build
ing up. It is not a denial of the
j divine right of kings, but it supple
ments that claim with the assertion
of the divine right of all men. It
does not destroy, it fulfills.”
In another address is found the
following: “I agree that the measure
of success is not merchandise, but
I do criticise those sentiments held
j in all too respectable quarters that
lour economic system is fundamen
tally wrong; that commerce is only
, selfishness and that our citizens,
holding" the hope of all that Ameri
ca means, are living in industrial
j slavery. I appeal to Amherst men
I to reiterate and sustain the Am
herst doctrine that the man who
i
builds a factory builds a temple;
