Party Strategy Shapes Battle for 1920 Nomination
Convention leaders led by Wood and Lowden plan to ignore California Senator Johnson while courting his delegates only if needed. They aim to deny him the nomination by preventing a clear issue on the treaty and league, even as eastern Republicans show near unity against Johnson. The contest may hinge on second and third ballot dynamics as Wood consolidates strength.
