Presidential elections were held in theUnited States on November 4, 1924. TheRepublican ticket of incumbent PresidentCalvin Coolidge andDirector of the Bureau of the BudgetCharles Dawes defeated theDemocratic ticket of former ambassadorJohn Davis andNebraska GovernorCharles Bryan and theProgressive ticket of SenatorRobert La Follette and SenatorBurton Wheeler. Coolidge was the second vice president, afterTheodore Roosevelt, to ascend to the presidency and then win a full term.

Coolidge had beenvice president underWarren G. Harding and became president in 1923 upon Harding's unexpected death. Coolidge was given credit for a booming economy at home and no visible crises abroad, and he faced little opposition at the1924 Republican National Convention. TheDemocratic Party nominated former Congressman and ambassador to the United KingdomJohn W. Davis ofWest Virginia. Davis, a compromise candidate, triumphed on the 103rd ballot of the1924 Democratic National Convention after a deadlock between supporters ofWilliam Gibbs McAdoo andAl Smith. Dissatisfied by theconservatism of both major party candidates, the newly formedProgressive Party nominated SenatorRobert La Follette ofWisconsin.

The election has been characterized as marking the "high tide of American conservatism", as both major-party candidates campaigned for limited government, reduced taxes, and less regulation.[2] By contrast, La Follette called for the gradual nationalization of the railroads and increased taxes on the wealthy, policies that foreshadowed theNew Deal.

Coolidge won alandslide victory, taking majorities in both the popular vote and theElectoral College and winning almost every state outside of theSolid South (while still making headway by winning Kentucky). La Follette won 16.6% of the popular vote, astrong showing for athird-party candidate, while Davis won the lowest share of the popular vote of any Democratic nominee in history. This is the most recent election to date in which a third-party candidate won a non-Southern state, and the last time a Republican won the presidency without winning any of the former Confederate states. It was also the US election with the lowest per capita voter turnout since records were kept. Also, it was the only election from1868 to1952 in which none of the candidates were from New York or Ohio.[3]

Democratic candidates:

The1924 Democratic National Convention was held inNew York City from June 24 to July 9. The two leading candidates wereWilliam Gibbs McAdoo of California, formerSecretary of the Treasury and son-in-law of former PresidentWoodrow Wilson, and GovernorAl Smith of New York. The balloting revealed a clear geographic and cultural split in the party, as McAdoo was supported mostly byrural,Protestant delegates from the South, West, and small-town Midwest who were supporters ofProhibition (called "drys"). In some cases, McAdoo's delegates were also supporters of theKu Klux Klan (KKK), which was at its peak of nationwide popularity in the 1920s, with chapters in all 48 states and 4 to 5 million members. Governor Smith was supported by the anti-Prohibition forces (called "wets"), manyRoman Catholics and other ethnic minorities, big-city delegates in the Northeast and urbanMidwest, and by liberal delegates opposed to the influence of the Ku Klux Klan.

An example of the deep split within the party came in a brutal floor fight over a proposal to publicly condemn the Klan. Most of McAdoo's delegates in the South and West opposed the motion, while most of Smith's big-city delegates supported it. In the end the motion failed to carry by a single vote.William Jennings Bryan, the three-time Democratic presidential candidate, argued against condemning the Klan for fear that it would permanently split the party.Wendell Willkie, who would go on to become the Republican Party's 1940 presidential candidate, was a Democratic delegate in 1924, and he supported the proposal to condemn the KKK. The bitter fight between the McAdoo and Smith delegates over the KKK set the stage for the nominating ballots to come. Most of the ensuing ballots followed a pattern of having McAdoo leading, Smith second, Davis third, and 1920 candidateJames M. Cox fourth, followed by variousfavorite son candidates.

Due to thetwo-thirds rule governing nominations, neither McAdoo, who briefly got a majority of the votes halfway through the balloting, nor Smith was able to get the two-thirds majority necessary to win. However, neither candidate would back down, and so the deadlock continued for days on end, as ballot after ballot was taken with neither McAdoo or Smith getting close to enough delegates to win the nomination. Cox withdrew after the 64th ballot, only for his support to split relatively evenly between the three frontrunners, leaving the situation no closer to being resolved. Eventually the convention would go to over 100 ballots, becoming the longest-running political convention in American history. HumoristWill Rogers joked that New York had invited the Democratic delegates to visit the city, not to live there. As the convention approached the hundredth ballot, a movement to draft Indiana senatorSamuel M. Ralston gained traction and began to look like it might break the deadlock; Ralston, who had been content for his name to be put forward purely as a favorite son candidate, quickly sent the convention a message stating that due to his poor health, he could not accept the nomination.

Due to the great divide in the Democratic Party, the convention could have gone on for a great deal longer. However, with some state delegations running low on money and unable to stay in the city any longer, on the 100th ballot both Smith and McAdoo mutually withdrew as candidates. This allowed the convention's delegates to search for a compromise candidate acceptable to both Smith and McAdoo supporters.[4] Finally, on the 103rd ballot, the exhausted convention turned toJohn W. Davis, a formerCongressman fromWest Virginia, formerSolicitor General of the United States, and formerUnited States Ambassador to the United Kingdom, as the presidential nominee. The Democrats' disarray prompted Will Rogers's famous quip: "I'm not a member of any organized political party, I'm a Democrat!"

Governor of NebraskaCharles W. Bryan,William Jennings Bryan's brother, was nominated for vice-president in order to gain the support of the party's rural voters, many of whom still saw Bryan as their leader.

(1923–1947)

SenatorRobert M. La Follette, who had left the Republican Party and formed his own political party, the Progressive Party, in Wisconsin, was so upset over both political parties choosing conservative candidates that he decided to run as a third-party candidate to give liberals from both parties an alternative. He thus accepted the presidential nomination of theProgressive Party. A longtime champion oflabor unions, and an ardent foe ofBig Business, La Follette was a fiery orator who had dominated Wisconsin's political scene for more than two decades. Backed by radical farmers, theAmerican Federation of Labor (AFL) labor unions, andSocialists, La Follette ran on a platform of nationalizing cigarette factories and other large industries. He also strongly supported increased taxation on the wealthy and the right of collective bargaining for factory workers. Despite a strong showing in labor strongholds and winning over 16% of the national popular vote, he carried only his home state of Wisconsin in theelectoral college.

Results

[edit]
Results by county explicitly indicating the margin of victory for the winning candidate. Shades of red are for Coolidge (Republican), shades of blue are for Davis (Democratic), shades of green are for "Other(s)" (Non-Democratic/Non-Republican), grey indicates zero recorded votes and white indicates territories not elevated to statehood.[5]

This was the first presidential election in whichall American Indians were recognized as citizens and allowed to vote. The total vote increased by 2,300,000 but, because of the great drawing power of the La Follette candidacy, both the Republican and Democratic totals were less. Largely because of the deep inroads made by La Follette in the Democratic vote, Davis polled 750,000 fewer votes than were cast for Cox in 1920. Coolidge polled 425,000 votes less than Harding had in 1920. Nonetheless, La Follette's appeal among liberal Democrats allowed Coolidge to achieve a 25.2 percent margin of victory over Davis in the popular vote (the second largest since 1824, and the largest in the last century). Davis's popular vote percentage of 28.8% remains the lowest of any Democratic presidential candidate (not countingJohn C. Breckinridge's run on aSouthern Democratic ticket in 1860, when the vote was split withStephen A. Douglas, the main Democratic candidate), albeit with several other candidates performing worse in the electoral college.

Both La Follette and Davis had criticized the Ku Klux Klan during the campaign, but Coolidge did not speak on the issue despite pleas from black groups.The New York Times stated that "Either Mr. Coolidge holds his peace for mistaken reasons of policy and politics or he tolerates the Klan".Charles G. Dawes criticized the KKK on August 23, but his comments were criticized by RepresentativeFiorello La Guardia who stated that "General Dawes praised the Klan with faint damn".[6][7]

The "other" vote amounted to nearly five million, owing in largest part to the 4,832,614 votes cast for La Follette. This candidacy, like that of Roosevelt in 1912, altered the distribution of the vote throughout the country and particularly in eighteen states in the Middle and Far West. Unlike the Roosevelt vote of 1912, the La Follette vote included most of the Socialist strength.

The La Follette vote was distributed over the nation, and in every state, but its greatest strength lay in the East North Central and West North Central sections. However, La Follette carried no section, and he was second in only two sections, the Mountain and Pacific areas. In twelve states, the La Follette vote was greater than that cast for Davis. In one of these states, Wisconsin, La Follette defeated the Republican ticket also, thus winning one state in the electoral college. The "other" vote led the poll in 235 counties, and practically all of these (225) gave La Follette a plurality. Four counties, three in the South, recorded zero votes, as against seven in 1920 – this decrease reflecting the Indian Citizenship Act.

With most of the third-party vote united under La Follette's candidacy, the Prohibition Party dropped to less than a third of the popular vote percentage that it had earned four years prior. This was the end of the Prohibitionists as a significant political force; having regularly earned at least a percentage point of the popular vote since 1884, they would struggle to earn even a tenth of that number in the decades ahead as Prohibition became increasingly unpopular and was eventually repealed in 1933, though the party nominally continues to exist and contest presidential elections to this day.

Davis won in 1,279 counties, which was 183 more than what Cox had received, and Coolidge failed to win in 377 counties that Harding had won in 1920. Coolidge's net vote totals in the twelve largest cities were less than Harding's with Coolidge only receiving 1,308,000 compared to Harding's 1,540,000.[6] The inroads of the La Follette candidacy upon the Democratic Party were in areas where Democratic county majorities had been infrequent in the Fourth Party System. At the same time, the inroads of La Follette's candidacy upon the Republican Party were in areas where in this national contest their candidate could afford to be second or third in the poll.[8] Thus, Davis carried only the traditionally DemocraticSolid South (except Kentucky), and Oklahoma; due to liberal Democrats voting for La Follette, Davis lost the popular vote to Coolidge by 25.2 percentage points. Only Warren Harding, who finished 26.2 points ahead of his nearest competitor inthe previous election, did better in this category in competition between multiple candidates (incumbentJames Monroe was the only candidate in1820 and thus took every vote).

This was one of only three elections with more than two major candidates where any candidate received a majority of popular votes cast, the others being1832 and1980. The combined vote for Davis and La Follette over the nation was exceeded by Coolidge by 2,500,000. Nevertheless, in thirteen states (fourborder and nine western), Coolidge received only a plurality. The Coolidge vote topped the poll, however, in thirty-five states, leaving the electoral vote for Davis in only twelve.[9] All the states of the formerConfederacy voted for Davis (plus Oklahoma), while all of the Union/postbellum states (except Wisconsin and Oklahoma) voted for Coolidge. It remains the last time anyone won the presidency without carrying a single former Confederate state.

This was the last election in which Republicans won Massachusetts and Rhode Island until 1952. Davis did not carry any counties in twenty of the forty-eight states, two fewer than Cox during the previous election, but nonetheless, an ignominy approached since only byGeorge McGovern in his landslide 1972 loss. Davis did not carry one county in any state bordering the Pacific or sharing a land border with Canada. The election was the last time a Republican won the presidency without Florida, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. It was the first time ever that a Republican won without Wisconsin. The eleven states of the former Confederacy provided 4.43% of Coolidge's votes, with him taking 27.94% of the vote in that region while La Follette took 4.80%.[10] This election was the last time the Democratic nominee for vice president was a sitting governor until2024. This was also the last election that neither major party nominee was from New York until1956.
