...reading your article "McKelvie v. Lowden" I wondered whether there was any significance behind that title. . . . . A few months ago one of the leading bank presidents of the country, at a conference of influential men of the Great Central West, I am informed, introduced ex-governor McKelvie [of Nebraska] as the next president. Doesn't it seem reasonable to surmise from these circumstances that have arisen during the past few months - McKelvie's conference with the President at Washington; the first overnight guest of the President at his summer home; the recipient of the only visit made by the President...

After the 1920 Republican Convention, which chose him over two abler candidates, Major General Leonard Wood and Illinois Governor Frank O. Lowden, Harding became the compromise candidate to end all compromises. He was, at best, the man nobody really hated-the legendary two-o'clock-in-the-morning choice of political bosses horse-trading in a smoke-filled room...
...Governor Ney Braga requested U.S. aid, three planeloads of food, medicine, tents, fire fighters, doctors and nurses landed in Parana. A U.S. Navy Task Force in Rio on maneuvers provided gauze, cotton and medication for fire victims. Top U.S. fire-control experts flew in immediately, including Merle Lowden, chief of the fire-control division of the U.S. Forest Service. Peace Corps doctors and nurses opened a 100-bed hospital in Tibagi, where U.S. officials began doling out supplies.
