In Fort Wayne era commentary, Harding is portrayed as a machine politician favored by party bosses.

Ernest Gary of U S Steel, Herbert Pratt, Henry Favison, Thomas Lamont, W W Atterbury, Horace Wilkinson, I Reploris, Frank Vandersip, George Baker, Daniel Reid and other financiers meet in private rooms. Their influence, the piece notes, could cover debts or dictate the party’s nominee, yet the event is billed as an unbossed convention.
