• Carrie_Fulton_Phillips abstract "Carrie Phillips (b. Caroline Fulton on September 22, 1873, near Bucyrus, Ohio – d. February 3, 1960, Marion, Ohio ) was the mistress of Warren G. Harding, 29th President of the United States. Young Carrie Fulton matured into a great beauty, one that epitomized the Gibson Girl beauty so popular at the time. Her relationship with then Senator Warren G. Harding was kept secret from the public during its time and for decades after. The affair ended when Phillips blackmailed Harding at the time he became President.[citation needed]Carrie Fulton Phillips holds the infamous distinction of being the only woman in United States history known to have successfully blackmailed a major political party, by virtue of her long-term relationship with Senator (later President) Warren G. Harding.She married James Phillips in 1896, and the couple moved to Marion where Phillips was co-proprietor of the Uhler-Phillips Company, one of Marion's leading dry goods establishments. The couple quickly rose through the ranks of local society, in large part due to Carrie’s charm and great beauty. Among Mrs. Phillips's friends and confidants was Florence Harding, wife of the owner and publisher of the city's leading newspaper, The Marion Star.James and Carrie had two children: daughter Isabel (1897-1968) and son James, Jr. (1899-1901). The boy died as only a toddler, and during this time of grief Mrs. Phillips and Mr. Harding grew close, despite their respective marriages and friendships. The Phillipses and the Hardings undertook tours of Europe together; all the while Carrie Phillips and Harding carried on their intimate relationship.Once the affair came to light, Florence Harding was furious and felt betrayed. This was not the first time that her husband had entered into an affair with a woman who she considered a friend. Phillips, too, was displeased with his wife’s conduct. To separate the two and to allow time for the marriages to be reconciled, Phillips took his family and returned to Europe, leaving the Hardings to tough it out in Marion. While in Germany, Carrie became immersed in German culture, and refused to return to the United States at the tour's end, insisting she and their daughter stay behind. James Phillips returned to the United States alone.While Carrie was still in Europe, Harding ran for the United States Senate. As Europe moved closer to the brink of war, Carrie begrudgingly returned to the States. Her passion for Germany was very well known. At every opportunity, she pled Germany’s case. Once she returned to Marion, her affair with Harding reignited. Phillips threatened to expose the affair if Harding voted in favor of war with Germany, but did not follow through on this threat.In the summer of 1920, immediately following acceptance of the Republican nomination, Harding disclosed his affair with Mrs. Phillips to the party bosses, and also disclosed that Mrs. Phillips was in the possession of hundreds of love letters he had written to her, many on Senate stationery. Afraid of a scandal involving both an affair as well as Mrs. Phillips' government files for supporting Germany in the recent war, the party bosses impressed upon Mr. and Mrs. Phillips the importance that their travel abroad could keep the matter quiet. Carrie refused, and immediately dictated the terms under which she would consider the party's wishes. In return for Mrs. Phillips' silence on the matter, the Republican Party would pay for an extended tour of Asia and the Pacific Islands, as well as an annual stipend to Mrs. Phillips in return for her silence on the matter for the remainder of her life.[citation needed]In June 1923, Warren Harding embarked on a western tour of the country, despite a decline in his health, and died in San Francisco, CA on 2 Aug 1923. The cause of his death has been a matter of speculation (that he was poisoned by his wife, was accidentally and inappropriately prescribed stimulating medicines by an incompetent yet trusted doctor, suffered food poisoning, or simply had a severe heart attack). His wife, Florence, died 15 months later in 22 Nov 1924 in Marion, Ohio.After Mrs. Harding's death in 1924, Carrie Phillips returned to Germany. James Phillips, by this time exhibiting signs of heavy drinking, remained in Marion, Ohio alone. Following the crash of 1929, Phillips lost control of his holdings and had to rely upon his wife's income. Stripped of his dignity, James Phillips succumbed to alcoholism. Near the end of his life, he was known to wander the streets of downtown Marion panhandling money for drink. He died in a back-room walkup at the Marion Hotel in 1939, shortly after his estranged wife's return from Europe.During World War II Carrie Phillips heavily supported the German cause as she had in World War I, and again, the federal government began tracking her activities, including meetings with other enthusiastic supporters of Germany including Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh.In her later years, Carrie Phillips was known as an eccentric. Her Marion home was overrun with German Shepherds, and she was known to walk the dogs while wearing large mink coats with little on underneath. In the late 1950s, before she was placed under a guardianship for her own protection, Carrie Phillips handed over her cache of love letters written by Harding to Francis Russell, an author working on another biography of Harding, on the condition that they remain a secret until her death.[citation needed]Carrie Fulton Phillips died on 3 Feb 1960 at age 87. She was buried in Marion Cemetery, next to her husband and their infant son. Their daughter Isabel, and her German-born husband, William Helmuth Mathee, are also buried in the family plot. Isabel and her husband had a son, also named William Helmut Mathee (1920-1988). There are no known living heirs.Following Carrie's death, the love letters became the centerpiece of a court battle that pitted Carrie’s daughter, Isabel Phillips Mathee, against nephews of Warren G. Harding.In a subsequent legal action, Isabel Mathee joined the Hardings and received a temporary injunction that prevented Russell's inclusion of the material in his book, The Shadow of Blooming Grove. Ultimately, the court ruled that the letters would be sealed until 2023, the 100th anniversary of Harding's death, at which time their contents would be made public. The material is now in the possession of the National Archives, with copies held at Ohio Historical Society.Another Marion native, Nan Britton, also claimed an affair with Harding but her assertions have never been established as factual. "Harding’s relationship with Nan Britton is questionable. His relationship with a woman named Carrie Phillips is not." Nan Britton claimed to have conceived a daughter with Harding, Elizabeth Ann Blaesing (née Christian), but paternity was not established or accepted by a court of law[citation needed] in her lifetime, before DNA testing was available. However, descendants of Harding and Blaesing have declined to undergo DNA testing that would provide conclusive evidence.".
