 | | When, in 1896, the Democratic party was captured by the radicals under William Jennings Bryan, its presidential candidate in 1896, 1900, and 1908, the Republican party became openly the champion of the gold standard and conservative economic doctrines. |
 | | By straddling the issue of the League of Nations and calling for a return to normalcy, the party easily elected Warren G. Harding in 1920. |
 | | His administration rivaled Grant's for corruption, but after Harding died in office, his successor, Calvin Coolidge, was returned over John W. Davis and La Follette. |
