Political Success
In 1900 Harding decided to accept
the nomination for state senator. He
wits elected and served four years.
In 1901 he was named for lieutenant
governor but was defeated bciause of
a split in the party. 'is popularity In
the state inei'ased rapidly and he
was talked of for the presidency ail
iwhen he ian for the *piate. in 191-1
he was elected by A majority of 100,
000 running 3,000 votes ahead of the
linarest ian on the ticket.
.in the senate he has mLatde a nota
ble record. He becamile a iembier of
the important committee on foreign
irelations anl during the war was a
warml supporter of Ile Wilson adini n
istration. Later, however, lie criti
eized the president severely.

was strongly oppo(Isd to adoption of

said in a s peech in the senate last
September:
"It milay h' very old fashioned; it
