State voters chose twenty-four electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president. Ohio was won decisively by the Republican Party candidate, incumbent president Calvin Coolidge with 58.33 percent of the popular vote. The Democratic Party candidate, John W. Davis, garnered only 23.70 percent of the popular vote.Dave Leip's U.S. Election Atlas; 1924 Presidential General Election Results - Ohio The 1920s were a fiercely Republican decade in American politics, and Ohio in that era was a fiercely Republican state in presidential elections. The economic boom and good feelings of the Roaring Twenties under popular Republican leadership virtually guaranteed Calvin Coolidge an easy win in the state against the conservative Southern Democrat John Davis, who had little appeal in Northern states like Ohio where his reticence on the Ku Klux Klan was opposed by Catholics.Faykosh, Joseph D.; 'A Party in Peril: Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Democratic Party, and the Circular Letter of 1924' (thesis); pp. 148-149 Ohio did possess a very powerful Ku Klux Klan organization which had swept the state's elected offices in the previous year, but had a sufficiently large Catholic population that its delegates to the Democratic National Convention demanded an anti-KKK plank.'Klan Candidates Swept Ohio Cities: Lost Only in Steubenville, Where an Anti-Ku Klux Organization Started After Riots'; The New York Times Special Edition, November 8, 1923, p. 1'Anti-Klan Plank Gets Ohio's Backing: Delegation Endorses Moore's Draft and Names N.D. Baker to Resolutions Committee'; The New York Times, June 24, 1924, p. 2 Davis was also handicapped by a complete lack of support from local Democratic officeholders, despite efforts to campaign in the state in October.'Davis Plans Drive in Ohio and Illinois as Chances Improve: He Changes His Itinerary as He Gets Reports of Strong Trend to Him in Middle West'; New York Times Special, October 13, 1924, p. 1'Sacrifice of Davis Reported in Ohio: Brotherhood's Support of Democratic State Ticket Taken as Indicating Move'; The New York Times Special, October 10, 1924, p. 8 Coolidge won a strong majority statewide even with the Republican vote being split by the strong third party candidacy of Senator Robert M. La Follette, who ran as the Progressive Party candidate and peeled away the votes of many German Americans and progressive Republicans. Owing to Ohio being the most German of the states immediately north of the boundary with antebellum slave states,Hough, Jerry F.; Changing Party Coalitions: The Mystery of the Red State-Blue State Alignment, p. 47 9780875864075 Ohio was La Follette's best east of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers (other than Wisconsin, which was his home state that he won) although his vote share was only one percent above his national figure. Nonetheless, La Follette easily outpolled Davis in the major urban areas of northern Ohio, and carried the city of Cleveland and many precincts elsewhere in Cuyahoga County on the strength of labor union support.https://books.google.com/books?id=t5iJ7_DTAPAC&pg=PA137 The Perils of Prosperity, 1914-1932 9780226473727 Leuchtenburg William E. 7 May 2010 University of Chicago Press Shaw Albert 1924 The American Review of Reviews https://books.google.com/books?id=gr8GAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA233 To date, this was the best ever showing for the Republican Party in Ohio as no other Republican candidate has been able to match Coolidge's landslide 34.63% margin in the state.
