It was 100 years ago this week when President Warren G. Harding gave a major speech at what’s now Husky Stadium at the University of Washington on July 27, 1923. As it turned out, it was the last public address the 29th president would ever give.
It was 100 years ago this week when President Warren G. Harding gave a major speech at what’s nowat the University of Washington on July 27, 1923. As it turned out, it was the last public address the 29th president would ever give.
In November 1920, a very early Westinghouse radio station in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is believed to have been the first to broadcast the results of a presidential election. Harding and his running mate Calvin Coolidge made up the Republican ticket; the Democrats fielded James Cox and vice presidential hopeful Franklin Roosevelt. No recordings exist, but a few re-creations were made as early as the 1940s, which have confused and confounded historians for decades.
The first stop was Volunteer Park to address Camp Fire Girls and dedicate a plaque at the base of the. Next up was Woodland Park, where thousands of Boy Scouts had been waiting for hours at the Elks’ Club picnic to greet the president. Then, it was on to the University of Washington, where Harding gave a major address.
However, from the stadium, Harding – who had owned a newspaper in Ohio – headed to downtown Seattle to give a talk to the Seattle Press Club, which had originally been scheduled to take place around midday. Then, around 7:00 p.m., after just six hours in town, the president boarded a train at King Street Station and headed south toward Oregon. He was not feeling well and was put to bed and watched over by a physician.
