Warren G. Harding
The 29th election ended in the declaration of Warren G. Harding. Interestingly, this was a significant presidential race since it was the first election in which women could vote. Warren Harding launched his career in the newspaper industry in Ohio as the owner of the Marion Star newspaper. He departed the rural town to enter politics when the right time came. During his term, Harding declared the end of the First World War when he announced that the United States was at peace with Austria, Germany, and Hungary. He had to contend with bringing a “return to normalcy” which involved the improvement of the economy. His cabinet suffered numerous scandals throughout the years but Harding succumbed to a heart attack before they were revealed to the public.
