<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24736696, member: 101855&quot;]The big scandal during the Harding years was the Teapot Dome affair. Harding&#039;s Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, leased Navy petroleum reserve land in Teapot Dome area of Wyoming, without competitive bidding, to two private oil companies. Fall got a kickback. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Democrats in 1924 tired to get some mileage out of the issue, but it won&#039;t stick. This is very scarce button which noted that effort. Sorry, but I did the photo on &quot;the quick and dirty&quot; but you can get the idea. &quot;Davis&quot; was John W. Davis who was the Democratic Party candidate for president that year. In 1954, Davis would argue against the Brown vs. the Board of Education case before the Supreme Court. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1582407[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>John W. Davis. His running mate, Charles Bryan, was William Jennings Bryan&#039;s brother. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1582408[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
