A Campaign of Firsts:
The 1920 campaign between Republican Warren G. Harding and Democrat James M. Cox was the first presidential contest between two newspapermen. Harding, published Ohio's Marion Star, and Cox owned Ohio's Dayton Daily News. Harding's victory was the first election to be broadcast on commercial radio. The election also marked the first time women from every state could vote. Above, Harding records a speech. |
