J. D. Brannan letter to Warren G. Harding, January 24, 1921
No full textIn this letter dated January 24, 1921 (the author mistakenly writes 1920), J. D. Brannan at Harvard University Law School to President-elect Warren G. Harding in regards to his choices for cabinet appointments. Brannan recommends Senator Elihu Root for Secretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes for Attorney General, Senator John W. Weeks for Secretary of the Treasury or Secretary of the Navy, and General Leonard Wood for Secretary of War, and includes qualifications for each. After discussing tensions among the government and organized labor leaders, he does not specify an appointment for Secretary of Labor, but includes Herbert Hoover as a qualified candidate.
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
