| | H102 Lecture 15: The Politics of Prosperity: The 1920s |
 | | Elected to the Presidency in the 1920s, Harding urged a "return to normalcy." The policies of his administration were generally conservative, especially regarding taxes, tariffs, immigration restriction, labor rights, and business regulation. | | | Harding's administration was marked by corruption and scandal, although most of the scandals did not become public knowledge until after he died of a stroke in office in August 1923. | | | H102 Lecture 15: The Politics of Prosperity: The 1920s |

| | However, although five Southern states passed antievolution laws during the 1920s, Texas did not; and in time the fundamentalist crusade in the state lost much of its force. | | | Although this strike failed, in 1926 the Court of Criminal Appeals held the open-port law unconstitutional. | | | However, all but one of the Klan-backed candidates for Dallas County office won election despite the opposition of the Citizens' League; the following year (1923) anti-Klan mayor Aldredge and the rest of his ticket were defeated in the election by a margin of almost three to one. |
