LABOR SECRETARY SAYS HARDING WORKS AT HIS JOB BUT DOESN'T TALK ABOUT IT
Boston, Massachusetts (JFK+50) On April 2, 1923, Secretary of Labor James J. Davis*, speaking to the Women's Republican Club of Boston, said President Warren G. Harding is "not bothering his head over much about the politics of 1924."
The Secretary said...
"President Harding is probably the poorest advertiser in the United States today."
He added that in his view the smallest corner grocer could better sell himself to the public saying the President...
"work(s) at his job" rather than "talk about it."
