Abstract

Fate and the Ohio Gang
Mels, Edgar | August 25, 1926 issue

add to cart   close window

Flanked by cohorts of press agents and captained by their leader, Harry Daugherty, the Ohio Gang swooped down upon Washington in the spring of 1920. The best minds took office and established a recard of inefficiency, graft and political thieving that will probably never be fully exposed. Much of it is lost beyond recall. More is buried deep in mountainous reports of Senate-committee hearings. The law has been slow to move against the political adventurers who pillaged the public till during the tenure of U.S. President W.G. Harding regime, although a few are behind bars.
