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.

William H. Phipps letter to Warren G. Harding, January 31, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 31, 1920, William H. Phipps of Paulding, Ohio, writes to Senator Warren G. Harding regarding his relationship with Harding's campaign manager Harry Daugherty (misspelled by Phipps as Dougherty). Due to Phipps withdrawing his support for Daugherty's senatorial campaign in 1916, his former friendship with Daugherty is soured, which raises concerns about his chances to help Harding as a delegate to the national convention. He also comments that many people claim that Daugherty is often difficult to work with, and Phipps is concerned that this will prevent Harding from receiving the support he needs and will lose the election. Before his working relationship with Harding, Daugherty's earlier shady political dealings left him with an untrustworthy reputation.
