The Election of 1920
“America’s present need is not heroics, but healing; not nostrums, but normalcy; not revolution, but resto-ration ….
“If we can prove a representative popular govern-ment under which a citizenship seeks what it may do for the government rather than what the government may do for individuals, we shall do more to make democracy safe for the world than all armed conflict ever recorded. The world needs to be reminded that all human ills are not curable by legislation.”
- Warren Harding, 1920
