Warren G. Harding letter to Adolphe Danziger, February 21, 1921
No full textIn this letter dated February 21, 1921, President-elect Warren G. Harding writes to Adolphe Danziger, a Jewish scholar, lawyer and author, to thank him for the poem he wrote honoring Harding titled "Within the Storm."
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
“I won't wear one of those damnfool spandex body-condom things. I don't have the bust for it.” Superhero Costume in the WildStorm Comics of Warren Ellis
No full textThe title of this paper comes from a line spoken by the character Jenny Sparks in Warren Ellis's first issue as writer on the WildStorm title Stormwatch (#37, July 1996) after she is recruited to the eponymous super-team. Something of an avatar for Ellis, Jenny's attitude towards conventional superhero costume is representative of Ellis's own dislike of what he has termed 'pervert suits', and her reluctance to join the team because superheroes always target 'the soldiers not the generals' is an expression of Ellis's dislike of the superhero genre's essentially reactionary power dynamics.
Despite his contempt for the superhero genre, Ellis revitalised it in the late 1990s/early 2000s with his work on the titles The Authority and Planetary for WildStorm, an imprint of the independent publisher Image Comics. Although not creator-owned books – produced under work-for-hire conditions they are the intellectual property of the the publisher - these comics nevertheless contributed greatly to Ellis's growing status as a revisionary comic book auteur comparable to Alan Moore or Grant Morrison. Significantly, both titles prominently featured super-powered characters who wear 'civilian' and/or military clothing rather than costumes. Earlier this year, Ellis released a 're-imagining' of the WildStorm Universe (the fictional world shared by the publisher's range of superhero titles) with the on-going DC Comics series The Wild Storm (DC having acquired WildStorm in 1999 and later made it defunct) which dispenses with traditional superhero costumes entirely.
In this paper I will discuss how Ellis's rejection of traditional costume expresses his distaste for the genre but also his ambitions for it, arguing that his use of civilian and military garb is part of an entryist strategy to subvert generic conventions in an attempt to reposition superhero comics within other genres such as crime, tech thriller and science fiction. In doing so I will draw on Richard Reynolds' classic structuralist reading of superhero comics Superheroes: A Modern Mythology (1992) and Geoff Klock's analysis of Ellis's WildStorm work in How To Read Superhero Comics and Why (2002), as well as my own previous work in this area
Warren G. Harding letter to Nahum Daniel Brascher, January 12, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 12, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Nahum Daniel Brascher, editor in chief of the American Negro Press, in response to his letter of January 8, 1920. Harding states he has stayed out of Chicago politics in order to avoid the tension among Governor Lowden, Mayor Thompson, and others. Harry Daugherty, Harding's campaign manager, will be in Chicago soon, and Harding suggests Brascher meet with him to discuss campaign strategy in Chicago and Illinois.
Nahum Daniel Brascher was born in Richmond, Indiana, Meredith Business College in Zanesville, Ohio, and later moved to Cleveland in the early 1900s, with a large influx of African Americans migrating north in search of a better life. While in Cleveland, Brascher co-founded both the Brascher-Ellis School and the Cleveland Journal, an African American weekly newspaper. In 1918, Brascher, his wife Helen, and their two children, moved to Chicago where he was one of the founding members of the ANP. The ANP was a news service founded in Chicago in 1919 that served approximately 150 African American newspapers across the United States, supplying news stories, opinion pieces, and essays about national and global events and issues, with special emphasis on race relations and African American interests. Brascher offers to provide Harding with free, advanced issues of its service in order to stay updated on events and issues of high importance to African Americans and their stance on political and social issues.
