Warren G. Harding and Charles Evans Hughes photograph
No full textThis photograph shows Warren Harding with Charles Evans Hughes, standing on the left, during the "front porch" campaign of 1920. Hughes (1862-1948) was governor of New York, and a presidential candidate in 1916 (running against Woodrow Wilson). He served as Harding's secretary of state, and in 1930 became chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Harding ran his 1920 presidential campaign from the front porch of his Victorian house in Marion, Ohio. People came from all over Ohio and the United States came to hear him speak. His speeches were often recorded on phonograph and printed in newspapers around the country. Warren Gamaliel Harding (1865-1923) was born in Corsica (now called Blooming Grove), a small town in Morrow County, Ohio. Harding graduated from Ohio Central College in Iberia at the age of sixteen. His family moved to Marion, where Harding taught school and briefly studied law. He worked occasionally as a reporter for a local paper before buying the Marion Star in 1884. Within five years, the Star was one of the most successful small-town newspapers in the state. Harding became popular as the leader of the Citizen's Coronet Band, which played at political rallies, and for his skill as an orator. Willing to follow the lead of political bosses, Harding advanced rapidly in Ohio politics, serving as state senator and lieutenant governor. In 1914 Harding was elected to the U. S. Senate. He won the presidency with sixty percent of the popular vote, promising a "return to normalcy" following the wave of reforms begun during Theodore Roosevelt's administration. As president, Harding appointed several friends to federal office who proved untrustworthy. His administration was tainted by corruption, and the infamous "Teapot Dome" scandal (in which Harding's Secretary of the Interior leased a U.S. petroleum reserve to a private oil company) nearly destroyed his presidency. After he died in office in August 1923, other scandals were uncovered, further tarnishing Harding's reputation
Charles A. Hetzler letter to Warren G. Harding, April 19, 1920
No full textCharles A. Hetzler of Sidney, Ohio, sent this flier titled "Senator Harding's Attitude Toward Matters of Interest to Patriotic Men is Open to Question" to Senator Warren G. Harding on April 19, 1920, as is evident by the handwritten note on its reverse. This flier was sent to his son, a soldier serving overseas, from Columbus, Ohio, and Hetzler wants Harding to be aware of his opponents' practices. The flier features three supposed Harding quotes on U.S. involvement in World War I, his low regard for the Liberty Bond campaign, and an unflattering statement about Theodore Roosevelt. The flier is endorsed by eight servicemen, whose signatures are at the bottom.
This flier 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
Charles J. Allison letter to Warren G. Harding, January 29, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 29, 1920, Charles J. Allison, Clerk of the United States Court, Northern District of Alabama, writes to Senator Warren G. Harding to warn him of Hundley's bad reputation and poor standing amongst Republicans in Alabama due to his lack of support for the Party. Allison claims that Hundley is using his role in Harding's presidential campaign as a means to insert himself into Alabama politics, where he is not welcome. However, Alabama's Republicans fully support Harding's nomination. Charles J. Allison was born in Rirarc, Ohio, on February 12, 1862, and died in Fairfield, Alabama, on June 5, 1925.

Dominance : The Story of The Harding University Bowling Team
No full textAfter three straight top five finishes in the NAIA tournament, the 1970 team seemed ready for a run at the ultimate prize, a NAIA national championship. After a hot start to the season, the Keglers won their sixth straight AIC crown, including a first-place singles finish by Gary Parsons, making him the first bowler to ever win two AIC singles titles.[1] Following their dominant conference performance, the Keglers made the trip to Kansas City for the fifth straight year where they won their first national championship, also marking the first time that the AIC had ever had a member win a national championship (in any sport).[2] Coach Ed Burt attributed the first place finish to “team work” and called seniors Charles Burt and Charles Webb “the key to our success this year.”[3] They obviously played a pivotal role in the success of the team, as they, along with Gary Parsons, Mark Poteat placed in the top five individually, including a first place finish for Charles Burt. This was Burt’s second individual national championship, making him the first to ever win it multiple times.[4] Burt also rolled a 227 in “the climactic game” which was the highest game of the tournament.[5] Following his historic career at Harding University, Charles Burt was honored by being inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in 1977.
