DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1920 * - ——

The Next President (Continued from pngo three) since R.Kisevelt's dominating person tilitj reigned at the White House, v. 11 disappear at least for the time. Those closest to Harding say In does not. consider himself a powerfu dominating figure in the sense tha President Wilson or Theodore Koos.velt felt themselves. His big task ir the next four years, as lie is mild U see, is that of harmonizing the best brains of the country and focusing ;li.in on national proliiems. He feels deerly, his friends say, that there is n groat crisis in world affairs which wili continue until the league of nations , settled. In that crisis, Harding ex pecis to use tile best minds of the country, as li< puts it, in an effort tc work out a solution which the eutin nation will approve. He docs not step into the presidency with the intention of iniii-ing his will i rova.il in the nation's affairs beyond n certain point. His con option of the presidency Is the ri ■ rse of President Wilson's. a< cording to tho.se who knew him be a Harding believes that the office is l;aiel> an executive one and that congress, not the president, is the channel through which public opinion ohuld express itself. If this analysis made by his close friends is correct, Harding, as president, will be incline! to lay back anil permit congress to ■ h,;|K‘ the nal'oii’s policies, using hi own powers only to carry the expre;:, od wl. hes of congress into effe*' . i h's is his theory, but whether the -lit.ieulties of practical polities will ■oi mil him io carry it out. only time .an show. Close observers predict a rather tormy four years for Harding. Alhcugh he held his party together ■te.iing the campaign, there is the 11 s' ibility of a rift within the organ--7 ficn over the league issue. If the n iff issue is raised, there'will be n o..pert unity for more trouble. Senitor Harding, more than anyone else. .. i !y. ecognizes this situation and determined ihat his big contribution the present situation shall be an t io harmonize divergent views ml b ing them together in a coni..i:i course which will not lean to the ?.! i me either way. H i il.ng has an ability, which die i'u'i! reveals to those close to him. of :.n !i:i !: ek and taking stock of him- ' ■ <in these occasions the extreme imp'icity of the man stands out. It .ittrihated in part to his simply irl> life. il.s raliest sport was diving into imiiiing pool at Caledonia < he moved as a small boy. Abou he lime he got into long trousers In :-"o I to piav the cornet and joined ho v.llage band. Harding turned hi: <" n playing to account in anothei too Mrs. Harding, before she a:; married, gave piano lessons to v, and girls in Marion. During heir court hip Harding often brought ec' net over and played duets, with he future Mrs. Harding at the piano. Tl’.ey have no children and there are ■ pets around the Harding house at : : fi< nt. Both are fond of dogs and ort ; V big collie for years, but one day i mysteriously took ill and died. Since th; n they have had no dog. Mrs. ■inrding tells several stories about her hurband’s love of animals. When .V it n was a small boy he had a ■ttle pug nosed pup that one day got n the way of a street car lost a hind leg. Harding would not permit he animal to be killed and carried i'lm over to his father’s office. Doct< Harding finally yielded to the pleas of his boy and sewed up the slump of the dog’s leg. After it had in aled, young Harding whittled out a wooden leg for the pup and it hobbled ■ouinl Marion several years»on the p; g leg that. Warren Harding had made. Senior Harding is a Baptist and Mrs. Harding is a Methodist. Harding P an Elk and a member of the Maron ie i.rder. He smokes cigars, and cigaiettes, but prefers to dry smoke a long black stogy. Herding is- simple in his drop: : wearing the conventional frock coat I only when formal oecasipns demar.il I At other times he wears an eas" I iitting two button sack coat. Harding Incver affects anything freakish in the I way of string neckties or shaggy hair. Illis hair is always neatly trimmed and I ’bi wears turn down collars witii : neatly tied cravats-purple being his favorite color.
