Many other Republicans sought the nomination, including US Army general Leonard Wood and Illinois Governor Frank Lowden. Dark horse Harding was nominated at the convention, however. Many wanted to nominate Wisconsin Senator Irvine Lenroot for United States Vice President, but Coolidge was nominated instead, because he was known for the Boston police strike in 1919.
