Republican Convention in Chicago Chooses Harding Coolidge Ticket
Edward W. Pickard outlines the Chicago national convention struggle over a platform and the selection of Warren G Harding for president and Calvin Coolidge for vice president. The platform endorses limited treaty commitments, promotes economic retrenchment, tariff protection, and anti monopoly policies while criticizing Wilsonian policies on Mexico and Armenia. It reserves sovereignty, supports federal budget reform, and promises care for war veterans. The report notes divisions over league involvement, and highlights dissatisfaction from some groups including suffragists and Irish voters.
