As a bit of interesting family lore, my great-great grandfather was one of the major players in the 1920 convention, backing Frank Lowden. The convention wound up deadlocking and they wound up putting up Warren Harding as a comprimise. Word has it that had Lowden been nominated and won, my ancestor woulda been tapped for a cabinet position.
