Main article: 1924 United States presidential election
Coolidge La Follette The 1924 United States presidential election in Montana took place on November 4, 1924, as part of the 1924 United States presidential election. Voters chose four representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Montana voted for the Republican nominee, President Calvin Coolidge, over the liberal third-party candidate Robert M. La Follette who ran locally as a "La Follette-Wheeler Independent" and the Democratic nominee, former United States Ambassador to the United Kingdom John W. Davis. Coolidge won Montana by a margin of 4.59%.
Coolidge was credited for the booming economy while the Democratic electorate was divided between the conservative Davis and the liberal third-party candidate Robert M. La Follette who ran as a Progressive and chose Montana Senator Burton K. Wheeler as his running mate. , this is the last election in which Deer Lodge County voted for a Republican presidential candidate.
With 37.91 percent of the popular vote, Montana would prove to be La Follette's fourth strongest state in the 1924 election in terms of popular vote percentage after Wisconsin, North Dakota and Minnesota.
This is the only time a Republican has won the White House without carrying Golden Valley County.
