EX-PRESIDENT WARREN G. HARDING
WARREN G. HARDING
On the Saturday morning after election day in November, 1920, a crowd of people stood waiting in the railway station in Marion, Ohio. They were there to say goodbye to President-elect and Mrs. Harding, who were starting on a vacation journey; for, after the stirring times of the long campaign, they needed rest.
When the conductor of the train asked Mr. Harding if he should make fast time, the President-elect replied: “Go slow; I have been going too fast for the past two weeks.”
