Shaken by the talk of corruption among the friends he had appointed to office, Warren and Florence Harding began a tour on June 20, 1923 of the West and Alaska. He hoped to get out and meet people, to shake hands and explain his policies. Although suffering from high blood pressure and an enlarged heart, he seemed to enjoy himself and the food -- especially the seafood in Alaska. On his return journey, he became ill with what was then attributed to food poisoning. The Presidential train rushed to San Francisco, where his condition worsened. He developed pneumonia, and complicated by his heart ailment, died suddenly on August 23, he suffered a heart attack in the evening, while his wife was reading to him.

Warren Harding was a popular president during his abbreviated term in office, but never a truly beloved one. Will Rogers, the widely popular comedian, said of the president that “he didn’t do anything, but that’s what the people wanted done.” Harding’s passing was marked by the usual platitudes about his service to the country, but those sentiments were soon replaced by pointed criticism as news of the scandals emerged.

Warren Harding was a handsome, amiable man who looked like a President but hardly acted like one. He won election by a landslide but did nothing with his mandate. A conservative Republican, he favored a return to “normalcy†after Woodrow Wilson's New Freedom program of business regulation. Scandals rocked Harding's Presidency and contributed to his untimely death in office.
