No full textIn this letter dated March 24, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to H. H. Sawyer of Des Moines, Iowa, in response to his letter of March 16, in which he asks Harding for his stance on Prohibition. Harding states that Republicans and Democrats will take a definitive stance on the question, although there is a strong movement throughout the country to make Prohibition an important issue in the upcoming presidential election. He also comments that any Prohibition legislation will likely be a national law rather than state level. Although he does not express his personal opinion on the matter, Harding does believe that if a Prohibition law is passed, it can easily be repealed if it doesn't work as well as planned.

Warren G. Harding letter to William H. Phipps, February 2, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated February 2, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to William H. Phipps of Paulding, Ohio, in response to his letter of January 31. In Phipps' earlier letter, he voices concern about his quarrel with Harding's campaign manager, Harry Daugherty, and how it may prevent him from being a delegate to the Republican National Convention in June. Harding states that he's had many complaints about Daugherty, and notes that many are hostile towards him due to his reputation of being untrustworthy. However, Harding defends Daugherty's character, claiming he is a genuine friend and that his campaign is in good hands with Daugherty. Neither Harding nor Daugherty choose delegates, rather a district conference decides, so Harding assures Phipps that his relationship with Daugherty will not affect his opportunity to be a delegate.

MacDonald of Salem, Massachusetts, in response to his letter of January 7, in which MacDonald commits to promoting Harding for the Republican Party's presidential nominee, unless Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge decides to run.

In addition, Harding states that he does not wish to be the Party's nominee if it will cause factions within the Republican Party, which at this time was very divided on account of General Leonard Wood's campaign for the nomination.
