Early political career
Those prominent positions caught the attention of Republican party leaders, who put Dawes in charge of managing the Illinois portion of William McKinley's bid for the Presidency of the United States in 1896. William McKinley Jr ( January 29, 1843 September 14, 1901) was the twenty-fifth President of the United States, and the last The President of the United States is the Head of state and Head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by Following McKinley's election, Dawes was rewarded for his efforts by being named Comptroller of the Currency, United States Department of the Treasury. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (or OCC) is a US federal agency established by the National Currency Act of 1863 and serves to Charter The United States Department of the Treasury is a Cabinet department and the Treasury of the United States government. Serving in that position from 1898-1901, he collected more than $25 million from banks that had failed during the Panic of 1893, and also changed banking practices to try to prevent a similar event in the future. The Panic of 1893 was a serious economic depression in the United States that began in 1893
In October 1901, Dawes left the Department of the Treasury in order to pursue a U.S. Senate seat from the State of Illinois. The United States Senate is the Upper house of the bicameral United States Congress, the Lower house being the House of Representatives Dawes believed that with the help of the McKinley Administration, he could win the Senate seat, however after McKinley's assassination, Dawes's hopes of winning faded because President Theodore Roosevelt preferred Dawes's opponent (Waller 1998:274). Theodore Roosevelt (ˈroʊzəvɛlt October 27 1858 January 6 1919 also known as T In 1902, following this unsuccessful attempt at elective office, Dawes declared that he was done with politics. He organized the Central Trust Company of Illinois, serving as president of the company until 1921.

Geneva Lake is a body of freshwater in southeastern Wisconsin in Walworth county Princeton University is a private Coeducational research university located in Princeton, New Jersey. In his memory, Dawes created residence homes for down-and-out individuals in both Chicago and Boston. Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States.
World War I participation
During the First World War, Dawes was commissioned Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Brigadier General of the Seventeenth Engineers. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All He served with the American Expeditionary Force as chief of supply procurement and was a member of the Liquidation Commission, United States War Department. The American Expeditionary Forces or AEF was the United States military force sent to Europe in World War I. The United States Department of War, sometimes also called the War Office, was the department of the United States government 's executive branch After the war, the U. S. Senate held hearings on overcharges by military suppliers, and during heated testimony, Dawes burst out, "Hell and Maria, we weren't trying to keep a set of books over there, we were trying to win a war!" He was later known as "Hell and Maria Dawes" (although he always insisted the expression was "Helen Maria").
After his resignation from the Army in 1919, and upon the creation of the Bureau of the Budget was appointed its first Director in 1921.

The Young Plan was a program for settlement of German reparations debts after World War I.
Vice Presidency
At the 1924 Republican National Convention, Calvin Coolidge was quickly selected almost without opposition to be the Republican Presidential Nominee. The 1924 National Convention of the Republican Party of the United States was held in Cleveland Ohio at the Public Auditorium from 10 June to John Calvin Coolidge Jr (July 4 1872 January 5 1933 was the thirtieth President of the United States (1923–1929 [1] The Vice Presidential Nominee, on the other hand, was more contested. At first Illinois Governor Frank Lowden was nominated for the Vice Presidency, but he declined the nomination. Frank Orren Lowden ( January 26 1861 &ndash March 20 1943) was an American political figure. Coolidge's next choice was Idaho Senator William Borah, but he also declined the nomination. William Edgar Borah ( June 29, 1865 near Fairfield, Illinois &ndash January 19, 1940 Washington D The Republican National Chairman, William Butler, pledged to nominate then Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover, but he proved to be too unpopular to garner the nod. Herbert Clark Hoover (August 10 1874 &ndash October 20 1964 was the thirty-first President of the United States (1929–1933 [2] Eventually, the delegates chose Dawes to be the Vice Presidential Nominee. Though Coolidge had already sent a congratulatory statement to Lowden, Coolidge quickly accepted the delegates' choice and felt that Dawes would be loyal to him and make a strong addition to his campaign. [3]
Dawes was elected Vice President of the United States on November 5, 1924 with more popular votes than the candidates from the Democratic and Progressive parties combined.

I should hate to think that the Senate was as tired of me at the beginning of my service as I am of the Senate at the end. — Charles G. Dawes[5]
Dawes' Vice Presidency was one of the most disastrous on record. Soon after his election he sent an insulting letter to President Coolidge informing him that he would not be attending cabinet meetings. This is believed to be the beginning of a feud between the two which brought the Vice Presidency to its nadir for the 20th century.
Having insulted the President, he then proceeded to publicly insult the entire US Senate. The inauguration of the Vice President was held in the Senate Chamber in those days, and the VP would give an inaugural address before everyone headed on to the outside platform where the President would take the oath. Dawes made a fiery, half-hour address denouncing the rules of the Senate, the seniority system and many other things that Senators held dear. [6]
Everyone was so shocked at the speech that President Coolidge's own inaugural address was completely overshadowed, leaving him even angrier at Dawes than ever before.
Both President Coolidge and members of the Senate would have their revenge on Dawes. On March 10, only days after Dawes started presiding over the Senate, the president's nomination of Charles B. Warren to be attorney general was being debated. Charles Beecher Warren ( April 10, 1870 &ndash February 3, 1936) was an American diplomat and politician In the wake of the Teapot Dome scandal and other business-related scandals, Democrats and Progressive Republicans objected to the nomination because of Warren's close association with the "Sugar Trust. Teapot Dome scandal refers to a Bribery scandal of the White House administration of United States President Warren G " At midday six speakers were scheduled to address Warren's nomination. Desiring to return to his room at the Willard Hotel for a nap, Dawes consulted the majority and minority leaders, who assured him that no vote would be taken that afternoon. After Dawes left the Senate, however, all but one of the scheduled speakers decided against making formal remarks, and a vote was taken. When it became apparent that the vote would be tied, Republican leaders hastily called Dawes at the Willard. The roused vice president jumped in a taxi and sped toward the Capitol. But enough time intervened to persuade the only Democratic senator who had voted for Warren to switch his vote against him. By the time Dawes arrived there was no longer a tie to break, and the nomination had failed by a single vote—the first such rejection in nearly sixty years. [7]
Dawes convinced the Senate to pass the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill; Coolidge vetoed the bill. [8]
In 1928 the Republican nomination went to Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover, whose supporters considered putting Dawes on their ticket as vice president. But President Coolidge let it be known that he would consider Dawes' nomination to be a personal affront. Instead the nod went to Senate Majority Leader Charles Curtis of Kansas. Charles Curtis (January 25 1860 – February 8 1936 was a Representative and a Senator from Kansas as well as the thirty-first Vice President of
The Court of St. James's and the RFC
After Dawes finished his term as Vice President, he became the U.S. ambassador to the Court of St. James's (i. The office of United States Ambassador (or Minister to the United Kingdom (known formally as Ambassador to the Court of St e. , to the United Kingdom), an office that he held from 1929 to 1932. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located However, Dawes found his duties as Ambassador, which included introducing American girls to the King, to be insulting. He further alienated his hosts by refusing to wear the customary knee breeches. Breeches (pronounced) are an item of male Clothing covering the body from the Waist down with separate coverings for each Leg, usually stopping just below
As the Great Depression continued to ravage the country, a desperate President Herbert Hoover asked Dawes to head up the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, and for a few months he chaired the agency. Herbert Clark Hoover (August 10 1874 &ndash October 20 1964 was the thirty-first President of the United States (1929–1933 The Reconstruction Finance Corporation ( RFC) was an independent agency of the United States government chartered during the administration of Herbert Hoover However, he was forced to resign because the City National Bank and Trust Co. , Chicago, of which he was a board member, was going under and he had to save it. Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. This marked the end of his career in public service.
Later life
Dawes resumed a role in the banking business, becoming chairman of the board of the City National Bank and Trust Co. from 1932 until his death in Evanston. Evanston Illinois is an affluent suburban Chicago Municipality on Lake Michigan on the North Shore in Cook County, Illinois directly He is interred in Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago. Rosehill Cemetery is a Victorian-era Cemetery on the North Side of Chicago Illinois, USA and at, is the largest cemetery in the City of Chicago His landmark lakeshore home in Evanston is owned by Northwestern University and operated by the Evanston History Center as a museum.
Dawes was also a self-taught pianist and composer. His 1912 composition "Melody in A Major," became a well-known piano and violin piece, and was played at many official functions as his signature tune. It was transformed into a pop song ("It's All In The Game") in 1951, when Carl Sigman added lyrics. " It's All in the Game " was a 1958 hit for Tommy Edwards. Carl Sigman ( September 24, 1909 &ndash September 26, 2000) was a major American songwriter The song was a number one hit in 1958, for Tommy Edwards (Hatfield 1997: 360), and has since become a pop standard recorded hundreds of times by artists including The Four Tops, Van Morrison, Cliff Richard,Nat "King" Cole, Brook Benton, Elton John, Barry Manilow, and Keith Jarrett.
