Iowa voted for the Republican nominee, incumbent President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, over Progressive nominee, Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette and Democratic nominee, Ambassador John W. Davis of West Virginia. Coolidge ran with former Budget Director Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, while Davis ran with Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska while La Follette ran with Montana Senator Burton K. Wheeler.
Iowa was the most southeasterly of 12 states where Democrat Davis ran third behind both Coolidge and La Follette. Davisâ performance is the worst by any major-party nominee since Iowa became a state in 1846,[1] whilst La Follette's is the second-best by any third-party candidate in Iowa presidential election history behind Theodore Roosevelt in 1912.
