Warren G. Harding letter to Finley C. Hendrickson, January 17, 1920
No full textIn this letter dated January 17, 1920, Senator Warren G. Harding writes to Finley C. Hendrickson of Cumberland, Maryland, in response to his letter of January 7th, in which Hendrickson writes about discrimination against minority political parties by state legislatures preventing them from appearing on the ballot. Harding claims he has not been aware of such injustice, but that the legislature in Columbus would be glad to hear Hendrickson's suggestions. Hendrickson was a lawyer and court stenographer, and aligned with the Prohibition Party.
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
