In 1920 many people were unhappy with Woodrow Wilson's policies and World War I. The Republicans nominated Ohio Senator, Warren G. Harding. The Democrats instead nominated Ohio Governor, James M. Cox, as their candidate [1]. Cox supported many of Wilson's ideas and policies, while Harding called for a "return to normalacy." [2]
