Indiana voted for the Republican nominee, incumbent President Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts, over the Democratic nominee, Ambassador John W. Davis of West Virginia. Coolidge ran with former Budget Director Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, while Davis ran with Governor Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska. Due to the power of the Ku Klux Klan over the Indiana Republican Party, Coolidge had run his presidential campaign in Indiana separately from the statewide Republican candidates. [1] Also in the running that year was the Progressive Party nominee, Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin and his running mate Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana. However, owing to Indiana's strong Southern [2] leanings, the conservatism of its German Catholic counties, and the dominance of the Ku Klux Klan, the state was one of La Follette's weakest nationally.

Coolidge won the state by a margin of 16.56%; however, Indiana was easily Davis’ strongest antebellum free state, voting around 9 points more Democratic than the nation at-large. As of the 2020 presidential election this is the last occasion Indiana has voted more Democratic than the nation, as well as more Democratic than neighboring Illinois.
