important positions, including Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall and Attorney General Harry

certain criminal suspects

Calvin Coolidge - ANSWER - Harding's vice president and successor

beat Democratic Party and Robert La Follette of New Progressive Party in the Election of 1924


Herbert Hoover - ANSWER - the greatly admired former mining engineer and Food
Administration leader
Appointed by President Hardings to be secretary of commerce
Coolidge declined to run for the presidency a second time. The Republicans therefore turned to
an able leader with a spotless reputation, self-made millionaire and Secretary of Commerce
Herbert Hoover. He was made the Republican nominee for president.


Alfred E. Smith - ANSWER - Democratic nominee for president, governor of New York
As a Roman Catholic and an opponent of prohibition, Smith appealed to many immigrant voters
in the cities. Many Protestants, however, were openly prejudiced against Smith


business prosperity - ANSWER - during the 1920s
unemployment was generally below 4 percent. The standard of living for most Americans
improved significantly. Indoor plumbing and central heating became commonplace. The
prosperity, however, was far from universal.


Henry Ford - ANSWER - In 1914, Henry Ford had perfected a system for manufacturing
automobiles by means of an assembly line. Instead of losing time moving around a factory as in
the past,
Ford's workers remained at one place all day and performed the same simple operation over
and over again at rapid speed.


Farm problems - ANSWER - When the war ended, so did farm prosperity. Farmers who had
borrowed heavily to expand during the war were
now left with a heavy burden of debt. New technologies helped farmers increase their
production, but productivity only served to increase their debts, as growing surpluses produced
falling prices.
