SAYS HARDING IS A "SHIRT-SLEEVES" MAN
Old K. U. Man Writes Persona Sketch of President for Grad Magazine
IS REAL MID-WEST TYPF
Town
Like Pleasant, Easy-Going, Business Man of Any Kansas
(Note: The following informal sketch of the United States President was written by Raymond Clapper, w16, by special request, for the Graduate Magazine. Clapper has been United Press representative with President Harding since his nomination in June.)
There are Warren G. Hardings in every Kansas town. They are the well-to-do, business men who began life with the church and who by patient, easy going plodding, gradually became prominent in their communities. They are the kind of universally liked men who entered into political campaigns by their friends.
That is how Warren G. Hardling reached the White House—through the good offices of his friends. Twice he gave himself up as a political failure—once he was defeated for the governorship in Ohio and a year ago when his primary campaign for the presidential nomination seemed to make him an idol. And the political adviser and friend, Harry M. Daugherty, now attorney general coaxed Mr. Hardling back into the fray.
This man is now sitting in the White House where he was sent by the largest plurality ever given a candidate for president in the United States. I doubt if he ever fully realized he was to be present until through the big glass doors of the White House on the afternoon of March 4.
Those who grew up in the Middle West should feel as though they knew President Harding intimately though they may never have seen him, for he is one of them. His years in the White House may help a charm to be put together yet. He is the same simple, unaffected man that was when he went around the Marion Star office in his shirt sleeves getting out the paper.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
This is illustrated excellently in his relations with the newspaper correspondents here. One Sunday afternoon recently he recounted an important conference at the White House. All of those present hurried off to be interviewed or received information about the conference. Finally they sent in word of their predicament to the president. He interrupted his afternoon rest and went to the executive offices at where once he gave the handful of newspaper correspondents married. On another occasion he had a number of house and senate leaders at dinner to discuss legislative policies. The correspondents waited at the white House as the eaterine for Harding, coming to the door of guests, saw the reporters outside.
"Hello, boys!" he said, coming out on the steps. And for fifteen minutes he stood there bareheaded in the cold night air giving details of the discussion. On the floor, he resisted a rough consideration on the part of any previous president.
Countless incidents of the last nine months further illustrate the simple, direct, unassuming mind of Warren G. Harding.
Shortly after inauguration he attended the "Hobby Night" function of the National Press Club. Supreme Court justices, ambassadors and other lawyers visited the president. President Harding was called on last. He gave a simple recital of how he once gave a down and out trumpeter a job on his paper. His successor, the first unsuccessful. His prompt opening of the White House doors to the public.

President Harding lays no claim to scholarship. He is an editor but he has written no books or essays. In his youth he played the tuba in the Caledonia Silver Cornet band and while attending a small college at Iberia, O, he took part in school in theatricals, his most successful being in the University of Don Cesan de Bazán "Gill Blas". He has written in reading in recent years. But the night before election last November he sat up in bed until long after midnight reading Edgar Salutz "The Imperial Purple" for the fourth time. He is fond of Robert Louis Stevenson.

Much credit is due the fraternities and sororites for their support in this investigation. We feel confident that the greatest majority of the student body objectively enlisted in their objectionable forms of social life, and will co-operate to the highest possible extent in eliminating them from the University.
