Thomas Isern’s Reviews > The Autobiography of William Allen White > Status Update

I am struck by White's account of the 1920 Republican convention - the story of how he warned his fellow delegates that to nominate Harding would bring disgrace on the party, but eventually, whether from weakness or amiability, he caved, and gave his vote to the Harding. A quarter-century later the pangs of regret still tortured him. He should have stood for what he knew was right.
