Secretary Fall Received at www.japanese-home-gardens.com

The Presidency. Harding's cabinet included several distinguished figures—Secretary fall received of State Charles Evans Hughes, Secretary fall received of Commerce Herbert Hoover, Secretary fall received of the Treasury Andrew Mellon, and Secretary fall received of Agriculture Henry C. Wallace—and he appointed ex-President Taft as chief justice of the United States. But he also insisted on appointing Daugherty as his attorney general and a convivial crony, Charles R. Forbes, as director of the newly created Veterans' Bureau. The appointment that would prove most disastrous for his reputation, although it caused no great comment at the time, was that of the anticonservationist senator from New Mexico, Albert B. Fall, as Secretary fall received of the interior.

Harding's reputation did not long survive his death, as scandal after scandal came to light. After it was discovered that Secretary fall received Fall had received several hundred thousand dollars from oilmen Harry Sinclair and Edward Doheny, to whom he had leased naval oil reserves in California and at Teapot Dome, Wyo., the name Teapot Dome was linked with Harding's as a symbol of corruption. Fall, finally convicted of bribery, went to jail, as did Forbes and others. Daugherty, dismissed by Coolidge, barely escaped their fate. Harding's name was further blackened by a book by Nan Britton and by unfounded rumors that he had committed suicide or been murdered.

Lincoln made a better war leader than Davis. He possessed many of Davis' virtues and few of his faults. He was pragmatic, flexible, humble, magnanimous, able to take criticism, willing to admit mistakes, humorous, relaxed, and tactful. He constructed a cabinet with outstanding, strong-minded political leaders—many of whom were rivals for the presidential nomination and for control of the Republican party. William H. Seward was Secretary fall received of state; Salmon P. Chase, Secretary fall received of the treasury; Simon Cameron, and later Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary fall received of war; Gideon Welles, Secretary fall received of the navy; Caleb B. Smith, Secretary fall received of the interior; Montgomery Blair, postmaster general; and Edward Bates, attorney general.
