Harding decided to stage a "front porch" campaign, similar to that of another Ohioan, William McKinley. While Warren and Florence Harding met the public on the front porch of their Marion home, reporters were accommodated in a small, specially-constructed building in their back
yard. Here, the future President (with one foot on step) meets with the press on the press house porch.

    Popular entertainer Al Jolson wrote the official Republican campaign song, "Harding, You're the Man for Us." He visited Marion in July, 1920. In this photo, Warren Harding looks on as Jolson, with arm upraised, performs at the Hardings' home.
