Charles Gates Dawes (August 27, 1865 – April 23, 1951) was an American banker, general, diplomat, and republican politician who was the 30th vice president of the United States from 1925 to 1929.
He was a co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1925 in 1925 for his work on the Dawes Plan for World War I reparations. Dawes, a native of Marietta, Ohio, attended Cincinnati Law School before beginning a law career in Lincoln, Nebraska.
He managed William McKinley's 1896 presidential campaign in Illinois after serving as a gas plant executive.
McKinley named Dawes as the Currency Comptroller, and he remained in that position until 1901, when establishing the Central Trust Company of Illinois.
During World War I, Dawes served as a general while also serving as chairman of the American Expeditionary Forces' general purchasing board.
President Warren G. Harding named Dawes as the first director of the Bureau of Budget in 1921.
Dawes also served on the Allied Reparations Commission, where he helped develop the Dawes Plan to help the struggling German economy, though the scheme was eventually overturned by the Young Plan. President Calvin Coolidge was nominated by the 1924 Republican National Convention without opposition.
The convention selected Dawes as Coolidge's running mate after Frank Lowden declined the vice presidential nomination.
The Republican ticket won the 1924 presidential election, and Dawes was elected vice president in 1925.
In Congress, Dawes helped pass the McNary–Haugen Farm Relief Bill, but President Coolidge vetoed it.
Dawes had been a nominee for re-nomination at the 1928 Republican National Convention, but Coolidge's opposition to Dawes led to the fact that Charles Curtis was not nominated for the vice presidency instead.
President Herbert Hoover appointed Dawes as the Ambassador to the United Kingdom in 1929.
Dawes was also the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, which arranged a government response to the Great Depression for a short time.
He resigned from his career in 1932 to return to banking, and he died in 1951 of coronary thrombosis.
Early life and family
Dawes, the son of Civil War General Rufus Dawes and his wife Mary Beman Gates, was born in Marietta, Ohio. During the American Civil War, Rufus commanded the 6th Wisconsin Regiment of the Iron Brigade from 1863 to 1864. Ephraim C. Dawes, a Major, was seriously wounded at the Battle of Dallas, Georgia, in May 1864, and was seriously wounded at the Shiloh and Siege of Vicksburg, according to Ulysses S. Grant.
Rufus C. Dawes, Beman Gates Dawes, and Henry May Dawes, Dawes' brothers, were all prominent businessmen or politicians. He had two sisters, Mary Frances Dawes Beach, and Betsey Gates Hoyt.
Dawes was a descendant of Edward Doty, a Mayflower survivor, and William Dawes, who rode with Paul Revere to warn American colonists of the rising British army during the American Revolution.
On January 24, 1889, the Dawes married Caro Blymyer. Rufus Fearing (1890–19212), and Carolyn Bess, their daughter, Carolyn, had a son. Dana and Virginia were adopted later that year.
Education
He graduated from Marietta College in 1884 and Cincinnati Law School in 1886. Delta Upsilon, his fraternity, was the product of his paternity.
Later life
Dawes served as chairman of City National from 1932 to his death in nearly two decades. At the age of 85, he died on April 23, 1951, at his Evanston home from coronary thrombosis. He is laid to rest in Rosehill Cemetery, Chicago.
Personal life
Several lineage societies and veterans' organisations had memberships in Dawes. They included the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, Sons of the American Revolution, the American Legion's General Society of Colonial Wars, American Legion, and Forty and Eight. Dawes was also a member of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts from 1925 to his death in 1951.
Early business career
Dawes was licensed to the bar in Nebraska and worked in Lincoln, Nebraska, from 1887 to 1894. Lieutenant John Pershing, the future Army general, was a military instructor at the University of Nebraska when he and Dawes met and developed a lifelong friendship. Pershing earned a law degree at Nebraska and suggested that the army go into private practice with Dawes, but Dawes cautioned him against giving up the regular army's pay due to legal uncertainties. William Jennings Bryan, a Democratic congressman, also met Dawes. Despite their differences over free silver policies, the two became close friends.
During the Panic of 1893, Dawes migrated from Lincoln to Chicago. Dawes acquired several Midwestern gas plants in 1894. He was president of both the La Crosse Gas Light Company in Wisconsin and the Northwestern Gas Light and Coke Company in Evanston, Illinois.
Early political career
Dawes' leading positions in industry attracted the attention of Republican Party leaders. In 1896, they ordered Dawes to handle William McKinley's attempt for the Presidency of the United States. Dawes was named Comptroller of the Currency, United States Department of the Treasury, following McKinley's election. He worked in that position from 1898 to 1901, amassering more than $25 million from banks that had failed during the Panic of 1893 and changed banking policies to try to avoid another panic.
Dawes left the Treasury to seek a U.S. Senate seat from Illinois in October 1901. He believed he might win it with the help of the McKinley Administration. McKinley was assassinated, and his replacement, President Theodore Roosevelt, was the preferred opponent of Dawes. Dawes declared that he was done with politics in 1902, after this failed attempt at legislative office. He founded the Central Trust Company of Illinois, where he served as its president until 1921.
Rufus, Dawes' 21-year-old son, drowned in Geneva Lake on September 5, 1912, while on summer break from Princeton University. Dawes funded the building of a dormitory at his son's alma mater, Lawrenceville, New Jersey, in his memory.
