Herman A. MacDonald letter to Warren G. Harding, January 7, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 7, 1920, Herman A. MacDonald of Salem, Massachusetts, writes to Senator Warren G. Harding in response to his letter of January 2. MacDonald will promote Harding as the second choice for Republican nominee in the upcoming presidential election, and first choice if Calvin Coolidge, governor of Massachusetts, does not run for president. The only critique of Harding's campaign thus far is noting that reactionary Republicans are working for Harding's election against the things Theodore Roosevelt stood for, and MacDonald believes this could hurt his chances. He suggests Harding become friends with and take advantage of those who supported Roosevelt's presidency, but are opposed to General Leonard Wood, another Republican candidate and one of Harding's strongest opponents in the election.
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

Rooted in all its story, more is meant than meets the ear : a study of the relational and revelational nature of George MacDonald's mythopoeic art
No full textScholars and storytellers alike have deemed George MacDonald a great mythopoeic writer, an exemplar of the art. Examination of this accolade by those who first applied it to him proves it profoundly theological: for them a mythopoeic tale was a relational medium through which transformation might occur, transcending boundaries of time and space. The implications challenge much contemporary critical study of MacDonald, for they demand that his literary life and his theological life cannot be divorced if either is to be adequately assessed. Yet they prove consistent with the critical methodology MacDonald himself models and promotes. Utilizing MacDonald’s relational methodology evinces his intentional facilitating of Mythopoesis. It also reveals how oversights have impeded critical readings both of MacDonald’s writing and of his character. It evokes a redressing of MacDonald’s relationship with his Scottish cultural, theological, and familial environment – of how his writing is a response that rises out of these, rather than, as has so often been asserted, a mere reaction against them. Consequently it becomes evident that key relationships, both literary and personal, have been neglected in MacDonald scholarship – relationships that confirm MacDonald’s convictions and inform his writing, and the examination of which restores his identity as a literature scholar. Of particular relational import in this reassessment is A.J. Scott, a Scottish visionary intentionally chosen by MacDonald to mentor him in a holistic Weltanschauung. Little has been written on Scott, yet not only was he MacDonald’s prime influence in adulthood, but he forged the literary vocation that became MacDonald’s own. Previously unexamined personal and textual engagement with John Ruskin enables entirely new readings of standard MacDonald texts, as does the textual engagement with Matthew Arnold and F.D. Maurice. These close readings, informed by the established context, demonstrate MacDonald’s emergence, practice, and intent as a mythopoeic writer
Warren G. Harding letter to H. A. MacDonald, January 13, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 13, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to H. A. 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. Harding comments on MacDonald's suggestion to befriend those who supported Theodore Roosevelt in saying that he and Roosevelt were on good terms prior to his unexpected death, and agrees that he would be the Party's first choice if he were still living. 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.
