CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.
Chicago Tribune: The candidate is
a four-square American, who has
a o ked his way up from the humblest
1 inning to the highest position from
which he is, we believe, to be called to
the highest office in the land. His
( i ; cter is unblemished and he has
proved himself in private and public
life worthy of unhesitant ocnfidence.
Ifis experience is many sided, as that
of a chief executive of our govern
ment must be if he is to fulfill his com
plicated and heavy duties with judg
ment tested by real knowledge of af
fairs.
Baltimore American: The voters
:an be sure that Mr. Harding is right
in his views of the domestic needs of
.he Nation, right in his views as to
:lie functions of the Executive, right
n his ideas of the balanced co-ordi
lation of the respective department of
;he Government, right in his sense of
he Nation’s international responsi
bilities, right in regard to all the
things that are now of such import
ince in the vista of the four years in
which there shall be a now Executive
n the White House.
Hartford Courant: Other men well
lualified to sit in the President’s chair
were considered but the choice went to
Harding, for in him was recognized an
able and worthy leader who could com
mand the united support of his party
and the adherence of a large part of
that politically unclassified body of
voters called, for lack of a better term,
independents. He is a standard bearer
worthy of the party he represents.
Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
There is a platform of principles upon
which any loyal American may stand
proudly. A worthy ticket, a winning
ticket, has been nominated. America
expects every Republican to do his, or
her, duty in this crisis which means so
much.
Philadelphia Enquirer: By the
selection of Warren G. Harding as the
candidate of the Republican party foi
the high office of President and Calvir
Coolidgo for Vice President the con
vention at Chicago has reached £
happy solution of the difficulties thal
c.onrronteu it.
Pittsburgh Gazette Times: The Re
publican party and all the people o:
the United States arc to be congratu
lated on the manner in which thi
Chicago convention solved the situa
tion which confronted it. It was ai
open race. There were some hot, i
not odds-on favorites, but every con
testant ran on his merits alone and go
the position at the finish to which hi:
powers in competition entitled him
The common verdict is that “the bes'
man won.”
New York Sun-Herald: It is no re
flection upon any of the other mei
whom it had under consideration t<
say that the Republican national con
vention has given to the party and the
country a ticket more closely ap
proaching the ideal than any othei
combination that could have been made
up from the material at the conven
tion’s disposal. It is a ticket whicl
deserves and will receive the suppori
of every Republican—one Which everj
independent voter ought to be glad tc
support.
Los Angeles Times: In nominating
Harding for President, the Republi
can national convention has made £
capital choice. Senator Harding is £
! pood American, a trood Republican
' and a good citizen—and a good winner,
j At no time in his public career has he
been false to the traditions, the ideals,
the principles of the candidates of the
Republican party. As a fitting close
of a good day’s work the convention
named Calvin Coolidge, governor of
Massachusetts, for Vice President. No
more popular selection could have been
made.
Baltimore News: Senator Harding
is simply an able, clear-headed, steady
figure about whom to rally and
through whom to exercise such ability
for government as the Republican
party contains. He is avowedly the
champion of the sort of government
irrespective of which party controls
it—that we had under William Mc
Kinley; a stronger man by far than
McKinley, an abler man, but yet a
man who would be willing to look for
the John Hays and Elihu Roots of his
party to help him run the executive
department and who would do his best
to get the best out of that co-ordinate
branch of government, the Congress,
and still see in the latter the formal
embodiment of the power and funct
ioning of the body politic.
San Francisco Chronicle: The
Chronicle had hoped for the nomina
tion of Hiram W. Johnson. It regrets
that the decision has been otherwise
But that ends it. It is not the indi
vidual who is of most national in
terest. It is the principles and not
men to which party loyalty must be
iriven if parties and indeed, the re
public is to endure.
Philadelphia Press! Mr. Harding is
a man of brains and force and higt
character. He is a senator of strong
reliable, conservative type, who wil
bring to the White House the qualities
that make for soberiety, sanity am
safety.
St. Louis Globe Democrat: Hardinj
. resembles Garfield somewhat in -hr
• qualities, but the people of Ohio, wh<
, know him best, see a closer compari
, son with McKinley. He is, withou
. doubt, a man of the MeKinley- type
, having much the same sane soberncs;
• of demeanor, the same conservatisr
. of speech.
i Providence Tribune: There is no
. the slightest taint of heterodoxy ii
; his partisanship. He is much of th
staid, plodding, respectable and alway
dependable type of McKinley—withou
. the Hanna handicap. But as a fore
! ward looking man for these new time
, that are opening to a future imper
, ious finger to our puissant American
Mr. Harding is an own brother to Lot’
wife.
Springfield (Mass.) Union: Thi
nomi.u'i n of Senator Warren G
Harding of Ohio, came finally as th<
logical, f not the inevitable result o:
the rivalry for the nomination in thi
convention,though he had been countec
out of the probabilities at the start.
Huston Post: We stop the press t<
report that the rumor Mr. Burlesor
has called a cabinet meeting is withou
confirmation.

If the United States is to undertake
a mandate over any country, why not
take a mandate over Mexico and help
restore peace and order in that
country? Mexico is nearer home.
A leading Democratic paper says
that “the only chance of success the
Democratic party has is to repudiate
Wilsonism, lock, stock and barrl, at
San Francisco.”
