Republican Party

The Republican Party was an American political party founded in 1854.

In its 6 December 1926 issue, the New York Chronicle reported that a speech given that day by President Warren G. Harding in support of the Administration Ship Subsidy Bill was "fraught with the most dangerous consequences" for his party, as it was opposed by Republicans from the Midwest.

Behind the scenes

 * The reference to Warren G. Harding in a prop issue the New York Chronicle featured in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are anachronistic, as the film is set in 1926, and Harding died in office in 1923. The text of the articles in the prop newspaper was taken from the real 21 November 1922 issue of The Evening World.
