President Harding and his party approached by way of the Panhandle. At Wrangell, in the Panhandle, once a trading post of the Hudson Bay Co., the party was greeted by " thousands of people." The populace presented Mr. and Mrs. Harding with a basket of super-strawberries and a bunch of mammoth peonies. Here, amid totum poles and other emblems of the red men, the President declared that he had come as an " apostle of understanding. That is what the world and the nation most need." Following him the three Secretaries in the party, Work, Wallace and Hoover, also spoke...
