He speaks about the possibility of redemption for the prisoners -- I have no doubt much may be done, perhaps more than the most sanguine anticipate, to restore those lost ones to society and bring them to the knowledge of the Saviour. For he who died for all will not cast away the penitent convict who seeks his mercy. Conditions are not good in Zanesville ( spiritual famine ), although folks are pleased with the new preacher, Bro. Jameson. Abstract Number - 303https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1300/thumbnail.jp

Finley C. Hendrickson letter to Warren G. Harding, Janauary 7, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 7, 1920, an attorney in Cumberland, Maryland, named Finley C. Hendrickson writes to Senator Warren G. Harding regarding an Ohio State law that prevents minority parties from petitioning for minority rights without declaring support for a party nominee. As a member of the National Committee of the Prohibition Party, Hendrickson would like the Prohibition Party to be on the Ohio ballot, but is more concerned with securing equal political rights, and offers the help of Prescott Gillilian, chairman of the Prohibition State Committee of Ohio.
This letter is part of the Warren G. Harding Papers (MSS 345). This collection includes correspondence, business records, and other materials documenting Harding’s business career as owner and editor-in-chief of The Daily Marion Star, as well as the various stages of his political career. A significant portion of the collection, and what’s available on Ohio Memory, highlights his 1920 presidential campaign, spanning just before publicly announcing his candidacy to handily defeating Ohio Governor James M. Cox in the election. Correspondents include both Ohio and national businessmen, political figures, and ordinary citizens writing with questions, support, congratulatory notes, and campaign advice. Some of the most interesting insights into the tumultuous political climate in the U.S., the extreme factionalism within the Republican Party in Ohio, and Harding’s campaign strategies are described in letters between Harding and his campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. Some of the topics addressed include women’s suffrage, Prohibition, the League of Nations, African American representation and issues, and lingering peace negotiations following World War I
