Background and vote Except for the Unionist Ozark counties of Newton and Searcy where Republicans controlled local government, Arkansas since the end of Reconstruction had been a classic one-party Democratic “Solid South ” state.[1] Disfranchisement during the 1890s of effectively all Negroes and most poor whites had meant that outside those two aberrant counties, the Republican Party was completely moribund and Democratic primaries the only competitive elections. Although the northwest of the state was to develop a strong Socialist Party movement that served as a swing vote in county elections,[2] [3] [4]
The Democratic Party, under the influence of future federal Senate Minority and Majority Leader Joseph Taylor Robinson and demagogic Governor and Senator Jeff Davis , was to make many familiar progressive changes in railroad regulation and child labor ,[5] George W. Donaghey – who saw his administration and Democratic primary candidacy as a fight against the “Davis Machine”[6] [7]
Race riots and fear of the Bolshevik Revolution spreading and destroying American capitalism ensued when many soldiers returned from World War I , and President Woodrow Wilson responded with the Palmer Raids and a “Red Scare”.[8] Ozark sections of Arkansas that Warren G. Harding , with almost forty percent of the statewide vote in 1920 , gained the most support for any GOP candidate since disfranchisement of Black Americans.[9]
However, with the anti-Democratic opposition split and isolationism cooling,[9] Oklahoma – carried as Charles Evans Hughes did eight years previously only the two traditional Unionist Ozark counties.
