In 1908 he was nominated for President of the United States. He wrote books such as "Peggy Ware" in 1921, and the 1923 work "Bishop of the Ozarks" was made into a silent film with Howard playing the role of the bishop. He interviewed fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in Italy, and the interview changed his political views, causing him to endorse fascism.
