Primary vote splits and convention fate in 1920 GOP race
The Progressives split the Republican vote in November aiding Wilson. Hiram Johnson led primaries with 941000 votes, beating Leonard Wood by 243000 and Warren Harding by 826000, carrying six states. Harding later surged at the convention, with California and Montana delegations loyal to Johnson only on some ballots. Also noted are minor disorderly conduct cases in Alderman Bedford's court involving two men.
