Warren Gammon letter to Warren G. Harding, September 28, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated September 28, 1920, Warren Gammon, of Warren Gammon & Son Polled Herefords, writes to Senator Warren G. Harding regarding his comments on the Esch-Cummins Act (1920) at an upcoming speech in Des Moines. The Essh-Cummins Act was proposed by Albert B. Cummins, former Iowa Governor and, at the time, current Interstate Commerce Commission Chair under President Woodrow Wilson. Also known as the Transportation Act, the Esch-Cummins Bill restored the private ownership of the nation's railways after the railroad system was nationalized to meet the needs of World War I. The bill was not favored by railway workers due to its prohibition of strikes, wage bargaining for laborers, and infringements on other laborer rights. Gammon suggests that Harding approach the bill cautiously in his upcoming speech, as Harding voted for the bill, and Iowa residents do not favor the bill or Cummins. Cummins' political opponent, democrat Claude R. Porter, was actively using the bill against Cummins.

This photograph is part of the Warren G. Harding Photograph Collection. Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States from 1921-1923, was born near Marion, Ohio, in 1865. At age 14, Harding attended Ohio Central College, where he edited the campus newspaper and became an accomplished public speaker. He married Florence Kling de Wolfe in 1891, and embarked on his political career in 1898 by winning a seat in the Ohio legislature for two terms. Harding became Lieutenant Governor in 1903 for two years before returning to the newspaper business. While unsuccessful in a run for Governor in 1910, Harding won election to the U.S. Senate in 1914. Political insider Harry Daugherty began promoting Harding for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. His campaign, known as “The Front Porch Campaign,” was centered on low-key speeches given from his home in Marion, Ohio, pledging to return the country to “normalcy.” Harding easily won the election, gaining 61 percent of the popular vote. On August 2, 1923, Harding died from a massive heart attack and is entombed in the Marion Cemetery
