Excerpt from Privileged Characters
When Warren G. Harding succeeded Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States, the American people publicly proclaimed that there was no God. The World War had been a religious conversion by force in the course of which everyone had been compelled to sacrifice his life, his freedom and his money, and the Treaty of Versailles, which ended that war, had made manifest that there was no possibility of heaven on earth. The reaction among the American people was one of eager desire for the pleasures of this world. Those whose idealism had received rude shocks from the obscenities of the War, followed closely by the selfish tactics of the Peace, no longer dared to care; those whose conversion had come about through shame, fear or expectation of gain were anxious to get all four feet into the trough again.
In 1920 the American people, impatient to repudiate the rigid morality of Woodrow Wilson, turned instinctively to the Republican Party as the historic vehicle for the satisfaction of their predatory desires. A convention of that party was to meet in June of that year at the Coliseum in Chicago.
