  3. Before his nomination he stated • "America's present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but restoration; not agitation, but adjustment; not surgery, but serenity; not the dramatic, but the dispassionate; not experiment, but equipoise; not submergence in internationality, but sustainment in triumphant nationality...“ - Warren G. Harding

  4. Harding interpreted his election as a mandate to stay out of the League of Nations.

  5. Harding, born near Marion, Ohio, in 1865, became the publisher of a newspaper. He married a divorcee, Mrs. Florence Kling De Wolfe.

  6. Word began to reach the President that some of his friends were using their official positions for their own enrichment. Alarmed, he complained, "My...friends...they're the ones that keep me walking the floors nights!"

  7. Harding journeyed westward in the summer of 1923, taking with him his upright Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover. "If you knew of a great scandal in our administration," he asked Hoover, "would you for the good of the country and the party expose it publicly or would you bury it?" Hoover urged publishing it, but Harding feared the political repercussions.

  8. BLOOPERS!!! • During his affair with Carrie Phillips, Harding was also “seeing”Nan Britton, a flapper who was 30 years younger than he. In January 1919, in his Senate office, they conceived Harding's only child, Elizabeth Ann Christian. Harding never met his daughter, but he paid large amounts of child support . Harding and Britton continued their affair while he was President, utilizing a closet adjacent to the Oval Office for privacy.
