Harding (1865-1923), 29th President of the USA Harding began his political career in 1899 when he won a seat in the Ohio State Senate. After serving two terms, Harding ran for governor of Ohio in 1903. He was defeated but was given the position of lieutenant governor. In 1914, he was elected to the US Senate, a post he held until his presidential inauguration in 1921. In running for the presidency in 1920, Harding promised to return America “to normalcy” and healing from World War I and the policies of President Wilson. Harding conducted a front-porch campaign from his home in Marion, Ohio, while his opponent traveled over 20,000 miles. Over 600,000 people came to visit him. In addition, entertainers such as Al Jolson and Mary Pickford entertained the crowds. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison also met with Harding and supported his campaign. The results of November’s election were the first in US history to be covered on the radio. Harding and his running mate Calvin Coolidge received 60 percent of the national vote, the highest percentage ever recorded up to that time. In 1923, scandals in Harding’s administration were beginning to surface. He told a journalist, “I have no trouble with my enemies, but my friends, they’re the ones that keep me walking the floor at nights!” The President’s health was suffering, so he decided to take a tour to the West and Alaska to reconnect with the people and promote his agenda. Accompanied by his wife and trusted advisors, Harding’s train left Washington on June 20. After giving speeches throughout the Midwest, he and his party traveled to Alaska. Harding was the first President to visit there. On the way back to the lower 48 states, Harding toured British Columbia, the first sitting President to visit Canada. As the trip continued, Harding became progressively weaker. The train traveled to San Francisco. On August 2, Harding died in a hotel suite of an apparent heart attack. The President’s body was transported by train across the country. Millions of Americans lined the track all along the route to pay their respects. His state funeral took place on August 8 in the Capitol building. Harding’s term was the shortest of any President in the 20th century.
