Republicans returned to dominance in 1920 with the election of President Warren G. Harding, who was leading a campaign that promised a return to normality. Tucker (2010) argues that the 1924 election marked the "great wave of American conservatism," as the top two candidates campaigned for limited government, reduced taxes, and less regulation. The opposition was split between progressive party candidate Robert La Follette who won 17% of the vote, and Democrat John W. Davis, who took 29%, allowing Calvin Coolidge to easily win re-election.84 Under Coolidge (1923-1929), the economy and society flourished stabilized; new policies focused on Americanizing immigrants already living in the United States and restricting the flow of new immigrants into the country.
