XX [Wikipedia] Harry Micajah Daugherty (born January 26, 1860; died October 12, 1941) was an American politician. A key Ohio Republican political insider, he is best remembered for his service as Attorney General of the United States under Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge, as well as for his involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal during Harding's presidency. Despite his status as a key political leader of the Ohio Republican Party from the 1880s to the first decade of the 20th century, Daugherty was himself only briefly a statewide elected politician by serving just two terms in the Ohio General Assembly, working closely during the last two years with Ohio Governor William McKinley. Although he sought national office several times, Daugherty was thwarted in his effort to obtain the nomination of his party and was never elected to office again. Daugherty remained an influential figure behind the election of several US representatives and senators. In 1920, he was Harding's campaign manager at the Republican National Convention. Following Harding's successful election, Daugherty was named Attorney General. In that capacity, he was instrumental in winning presidential pardons for jailed anti-war dissidents such as Eugene V. Debs. Twice the subject of federal corruption investigations, Daugherty was forced in 1924 to resign his post as Attorney General by Harding's presidential successor, Calvin Coolidge.…
