Vi, Cail ing the term of four years.” To his cupation with the most stupendous ervice that any president over knew, Mr. Harding added the piloting of his party for whose continuance in pow- or politicians said that all depended upon his qucceeding himself in the presidency for a second term, at least; for there was the propaganda and the incongruity that, unless the president be renominated, his success. | ful administration would be admitted |to be @ failure and the grand old | party, accustomed to landslides in its |favor, would be out and injured at the very next presidential e'ection. Renomination, therefore, followed by | reelection, was the objective of his transcontinental trip; and while he should have been enjoying the so journ as a vacation outing, carefree, receiving due commendations for laervices well performed and endear- ing himself to all at all times and | places, ax he would have done in any jevent, he took upon his galled and burdened shoulders the |dead welght of party leadership, |which resulted in fatality instead of |length of days and enduring fame |which otherwise had been his. Elab orate programs were prescribed and followed. Manuscript addressed and keynote speeches—as racking to the orator as English rack-rents in Ire- land—were prepared and delivered at strategic sections of the country; all of which good politics was sure to tring political success and a second term presidency, had he lived any, like President 1 read the providential in his |tory; but few, like ex.Gov, Lowden |of Illinois, a distinguished advocate of the single term for president and | governor—can learn the lesson or heed the warning.
