FLORENCE HARDING

In the 1920 Republican primary in Indiana things were looking poorly for Warren G. Harding and his campaign manager called to advise Harding to drop out of the race. Harding was about to agree when Mrs. Harding grabbed the phone.

She was the first presidential candidate's wife to admit such a radical position.

The President was under attack for the Teapot Dome scandal when he died in office: Harding was not personally involved with the Teapot Dome corruption scandal, but his appointees and friends were. Much public and press attack was directed at the President.
