SPLENDID CANDIDATES

Statement by Will H. Haye, Chairman Republican National Committee ✓ —i——» Senator Harding posseses just those vital qualities of mind and heart necessary today and in the time just ahead. His poises of mind, his soundness of judgment, his hold on fundamentals, his appreciations of the needs of today and tomorrow, his love of the people from whom he came and of whom he is one, and his faith in them; his magnificent grasp of large affairs, his great native ability and his training in statesmanship, his regard for the opinion of others, his experience and success in the handling of men, his proper appreciation of his country’s position as a responsible factor in the world’s future, but with the fullest realization of the absolute importance of our own supreme nationalism, his sterling Americanism, his righteous character and manhood, and withal his thorough humanness, all qualify him in the most exceptional degree for the tremendous responsibilities which will soon be his. He will make a splendid candidate and a great president. The country will love him, honor him, trust him and follow him, just as all who know him love him and trust him, and the world will honor him. Too, in Governor Coolidge we have a candidate for vice-president that measures up to every requirement of a presidential candidate. Fortunate indeed is the country.
