Al Smith 1924 Presidential Campaign
Al Smith, Governor of New York, was a candidate for Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 1924 election. Background Smith had previously made a quixotic bid for the Democratic nomination at the 1920 Democratic National Convention, where his nomination received an invigorating seconding speech by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who also served as Smith's floor manager at the 1920 convention. Roosevelt, who had campaigned for Smith's gubernatorial campaign in 1918, was chosen by the New York Democratic Party to second Smith's 1920 bid for the nomination. One contributing factor to this had been Roosevelt's friendly relationship with Tammany Hall leader Charles Murphy While Smith had lost the 1920 nomination, Roosevelt was himself nominated as the vice-presidential running-mate of James M.

1924 United States Presidential Election
The 1924 United States presidential election was the 35th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 4, 1924. In a three-way contest, incumbent Republican President Calvin Coolidge won election to a full term. Coolidge had been vice president under Warren G. Harding and became president in 1923 upon Harding's death. Coolidge was given credit for a booming economy at home and no visible crises abroad, and he faced little opposition at the 1924 Republican National Convention. The Democratic Party nominated former Congressman and ambassador to the United Kingdom John W. Davis of West Virginia. Davis, a compromise candidate, triumphed on the 103rd ballot of the 1924 Democratic National Convention after a deadlock between supporters of William Gibbs McAdoo and Al Smith. Dissatisfied by the conservatism of both major party candidates, the Progressive Party nominated Senator Robert La Follette of Wisconsin. In a 2010 book, Garland S. Tucker argues that the election ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
