Description

Two items: a partly-printed DS as president, signed “Pay to yourselves, Warren G. Harding,” one page, 8.25 x 7, September 29, 1922, being a voucher from The Harding Publishing Company (The Marion Star) filled out in another hand and made payable to W. G. Harding for $400, endorsed on the lower panel in ink by President Warren G. Harding ; and a partly-printed DS, signed “Mrs. F. K. Harding,” one page, 8.25 x 7, January 22, 1916, being a voucher from The Harding Publishing Company (The Marion Star) filled out in another hand and made payable to Mrs. F. K. Harding for $30, endorsed on the lower panel in ink by Florence Kling Harding. In overall fine condition.

Harding bought the Ohio daily newspaper The Marion Daily Star in 1884, and held ownership of the paper until mid-1923. Although Harding's editorial department slanted toward the Republican platform, the daily paper remained somewhat neutral due to its position as the newspaper of record for Marion County, Ohio. However, the Star's weekly publication served as the partisan arm of Harding's newspaper empire.
