The 1924 National Convention of the Republican Party
of the United States was held in Cleveland, Ohio at the
Public Auditorium from June 10 to June 12. For this con-
vention the method of allocating delegates changed in
order to reduce the overrepresentation of the South. [1]
This effort proved only partly successful as Southern del-
egates would actually be more overrepresented than
they had been in 1916 or 1920; however, they were not as
overrepresented as they had been before 1912.
It also made history by being the first GOP convention
to give women equal representation. The Republican Na-
tional Committee approved a rule providing for a na-
tional committee-man and a national committee-woman
from each state. [2] More controversy ensued over
whether to condemn the Ku Klux Klan with the result ul-
timately being to say nothing either way.
Incumbent President Calvin Coolidge was renominat-
ed and went on to win the general election. The conven-
tion nominated Illinois Governor Frank Lowden for Vice
President on the second ballot, but he declined the nom-
ination. The convention then selected Charles G. Dawes.
Also considered for the nomination was Senator Charles
Curtis of Kansas, a future Vice President. • Senator Hiram Johnson of California
