When a friend appeared and offered to stand sponsor for a book, I could not resist. There was a fire in my bones that impelled me to write when Warren G. Harding was nominated for President of the United States. While not intended as a political book, there is an earnest intent that the reader may feel that this tribute is tempered with the restraint due to dealing with future events, and that it is not inspired by partisan bias. All America loves a man — no matter under what party banner he may enlist.
