Ex.. Harding made Charles Forbes head of the veteran bureau.Later Charles was convicted of stealing millions of dollars from the bureau, Harding took Charles Stealing as betrayal and wanted to do something legal to punish him. As a punishment Warren thought hard and long about what exactly he would do to punish him.Rumors of more scandals came about and they got back to Harding it really made him distressed.

One day a woman came to Cooliidge and she made a bet with him that she could get him to say more than two words to her if he could do sonething about the damage caused by the scandals that took place in the past. In 1924 Coolidge went up against democrat John Davis and Progressive Robert La Follette. Cooliogde won and like Harding president Coolidge believed that prosperity for all Americans depended on business prosperity.As factories switched to consumer goods, the postwar started.In 1923-1929 the quantity of goods made industry nearly doubled,the roaring twenties was a tough time the people went throught hard times and still the roating twenties ia known as an unforgettable timeline.
