Lenroot would be "just one too many Senators on the presidential ticket," a reporter observed.
This was probably a response to the unhappy situation in the last years of the Wilson administration, when Vice President Marshall had declined to preside over the cabinet during the president's illness, and Secretary of State Robert Lansing had been fired by Wilson for holding cabinet meetings without his authorization.
Harding had made the offer first to Irvine Lenroot, when he was considered for the vice-presidency, and then to Coolidge.

Senator Irvine Lenroot, a liberal from Wisconsin, was then put in nomination for vice president.
But many delegates felt that Lenroot was too liberal and that a far-Western or Eastern candidate was needed to balance the national ticket geographically.
Many delegates also resented being forced to take the choice of the party leaders for vice president after Harding had been forced upon them.

 NPR : The Politics of Katrina and Roberts
I know that in 1920, Sen. Warren Harding (R-OH) was supposed to run with Sen. Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin, but a spontaneous floor demonstration for Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge ended Lenroot's chances.
When Lenroot, like Johnson a progressive, was about to be offered the number No. 2 slot, a spontaneous demonstration began on the floor for Coolidge, the Massachusetts governor who won national acclaim when he put down a Boston police strike in 1919.
The Harding-Coolidge ticket won a landslide that year over the Democratic slate of Gov. James Cox of Ohio for president and some fellow by the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt for vice president.

After nominating Warren G. Harding for president, the delegates at the 1920 Republican convention rejected Senator Irvine Lenroot of Wisconsin, who had been anointed by the leadership, and nominated Calvin Coolidge for vice president.
As late as 1944, as powerful a president as Franklin D. Roosevelt felt obliged to obtain the approval of convention leaders before agreeing to the nomination of Harry S. Truman as his running mate.
