A Few Sidelights Qite
the New> President
Washington.—Whatever else he may
be, Warren G. Harding always classi
fies himself as an editor, publisher and
printer* proud of * his professional ac
complishments and trailing. His luck
charm aact most saesed possession is a?:
printer’s rule,- carried:- in hi» pocket
wherever he goes, and his close friends
say he would rather set a stick-of type
any day than grant an audience to an
ambassador.
For more than thirty years- Mr.
HardiDg’s bread and butter has been
earned by the Marion Star, whose re
sponsibilities-be assumed under heavy
mortgage and whose early years he
nourished. at the expense of going
hungry himself* On' elections night,
: when a group of his admirers--came t»
’congratulate him, his voice broke a ad
his big : frame was shakes by sobs
when he undertook- to speak of the
separation that must be the price of his
triumph:
Election day-was Mr. Harding’s 55th
birthday, and all the interests of his
iifetime had been rooted in the imme
diate vicinity of Marion. - He was born
at Blooming Grove, Ohio, in an adjoin
ing county, the son of eLcountry doctor,
iGeorgerT. Hardingy who* still visits his
patients about Marion in a one-horse
carriage. The new president’s mother
has been dead for many years and his
father remarried.
Young Harding attended college at
Iberia, Ohio, and then tried school
teaching for a year before he began his
; newspaper career.
r \ Three times before he ha9-held'-pub
lid office. He served-inthe-OifTO Legis
lature and as lieutenant- governormf
the State, and six years ago he was
-(elected- to the United States-Senate,
fwhere he-became a member of the For
eign -Relations Committee. Iri MUG he
was chairman of the Republican Na
tional convention.
' lir personal appearance* the* new
president is a man to attract a second
look in any crowd. .* He carries his 210
pounds without a hint of obesity,' al
though he is not quite six feet tall,‘and
his massive features round oot’ an im
pression of force and distioetkat; Hie
hair ia iron gray, almost- silver gray,
making a sharp eoatrast with the un
usually heavy black eyebrows that al
most mask a pair-of calm gray eyes. It
is only* in reposethat his face takes- on
the aspect 6f Severity seen so often in
his photographs When he -talks, or
listens, the lines are'brok&nhy.a smile
Aitbat-radiates cordiality^.
