| Notes |
- 29th President of the United States.
He served as the 29th president of the United States from 1921 until h i s death in 1923. He was a member of the Republican Party and one of th e m ost popular sitting U.S. presidents. After his death, a number of sca ndal s were exposed, including Teapot Dome, as well as an extramarital af fai r with Nan Britton, which diminished his regard.
Harding lived in rural Ohio all his life, except when political servic e t ook him elsewhere. As a young man, he bought The Marion Star and buil t i t into a successful newspaper. Harding served in the Ohio State Senat e fr om 1900 to 1904, and was lieutenant governor for two years. He was d efeat ed for governor in 1910, but was elected to the United States Senat e in 1 914, the state's first direct election for that office. Harding ra n for t he Republican nomination for president in 1920, but was considere d a lon g shot before the convention. When the leading candidates could n ot garne r a majority, and the convention deadlocked, support for Hardin g increase d, and he was nominated on the tenth ballot. He conducted a fr ont porch c ampaign, remaining mostly in Marion, and allowed the people t o come to hi m. He promised a return to normalcy of the pre-World War per iod, and wo n in a landslide over Democrat James M. Cox, to become the fi rst sittin g senator elected president.
Harding appointed a number of respected figures to his cabinet, includi n g Andrew Mellon at Treasury, Herbert Hoover at Commerce, and Charles Ev an s Hughes at the State Department. A major foreign policy achievement c am e with the Washington Naval Conference of 1921–1922, in which the worl d' s major naval powers agreed on a naval limitations program that last e d a decade. Harding released political prisoners who had been arreste d fo r their opposition to the World War.
Harding's Interior Secretary, Albert B. Fall, and his Attorney General , H arry Daugherty, were each later tried for corruption in office. Fal l wa s convicted though Daugherty was not. These and other scandals great ly da maged Harding's posthumous reputation; he is generally regarded a s one o f the worst presidents in U.S. history. Harding died of a heart a ttack i n San Francisco while on a western tour, and was succeeded by Vic e Presid ent Calvin Coolidge.
