rdfs:comment
  • The United States presidential election of 1920 was a landmark event in United States political history. For the first time since 1880 the Democratic Party had lost a presidential election to an opposing political party, which in this election was the Socialist Party. It was also the first time in American history that a sitting president ran for a third-term, though President Theodore Roosevelt was defeated in his bid by Upton Sinclair of New Jersey.
