Warren G. Harding

The 29th election is a meaningful milestone because aside from Warren G. Harding getting elected as president, it was also the first time women were allowed to vote. The newspaper industry is where Warren Harding began his career, as the owner of Ohio’s Marion Star newspaper, then he went into politics and left his hometown in Ohio once he was needed for the role. Throughout his time as the president of the United States (1921-1923), Harding was the one who formally ended World War I when he declared the US was at peace with Germany, Hungary, and Austria, and he also promoted a “return to normalcy” by attempting to boost the economy in different ways. However, his cabinet suffered many scandals and Harding unfortunately passed away in office due to a heart attack at a time when the scandals were becoming more public.
