President whose philosophy was to give domestic prosperity his highest emphasis while reaching out to bring American ideals to the rest of the world. In many ways, it was (and remains) a typical Republican agenda.
Autograph Letter Signed, 1 page 4to, U. S. Senate letterhead, Jan. 1, 1916 to Glen W. Blodgett of Buffalo. “As a Republican my favorite sentiment is – Prosper America first. You may add it to your collection and we shall join in patriotic devotion in wishing for peace and prosperity and the spread of American conceptions of highest humanity.”
In his speech accepting the Republican nomination for president in 1920, Harding used this exact phrase as a clarion call: “Stabilize America first, prosper America first, think of America first, exalt America first.” The speech, and in fact his entire campaign, was based on these core principles, and the premise that the nation was tired of international involvements and wanted to think of domestic concerns. It is uncommon to find a quotation signed by a president with phrases emblematic of his most important campaign speech. Fine, lightly toned, and the best possible Harding letter.
