PRESIDENT 'DECLARING HIMSELF TOO MUCH' IS ONE WESTERNER'S OPINION
Somewhere Out West (JFK+50) On July 2, 1923, David Lawrence of the Evening Star writes that President Warren G. Harding has been described by someone in Kansas as a 'super-common citizen.'
Mr. Lawrence reports that another 'super-common citizen' named Charlie Irwin says that although he likes the President and wants to see him re-elected in 1924, Mr. Harding is "declaring himself too much."
Charlie bases his opinion on his brother Fred's philosophy that "it is a mistake for a man to say too much."
So, in politics, Charlie says,"I don't think it pays to say too much."
