Encyclopedia > 1924 Republican National Convention
The 1924 Republican National Convention was held in Cleveland, Ohio. For this convention the method of allocating delegates changed in order to reduce the overrepresentation of the South.[1] This effort proved only partly successful as Southern delegates would actually be more overrepresented then they had been in 1916 or 1920. However they were not as overrepresented as they had been before 1912. IY also made history by being the first GOP convention to give women equal representation. The National Committee approved a rule providing for a national committee-man and a national committee-woman from each state.[2] More controversy ensued over whether to condemn the Ku Klux Klan with the result ultimately being to say nothing either way.
