+ "We test whether liberty bonds led to changes in voting outcomes in presidential elections in the 1920s relative to those in the previous decade, in a panel of about 1,400 counties. The 1920s were a period of Republican dominance in presidential politics, with Harding, Coolidge and Hoover winning substantial majorities of the popular and electoral votes in 1920, 1924 and 1928. Previous scholarship has attributed these victories to the breakdown of the coalition that had supported Wilson. We posit instead that voters responded to changes in liberty bond prices by voting against the incumbent Democrats when they depreciated in value, and later voting for the incumbent Republicans following their appreciation. The results of our empirical analysis indicate that counties with higher liberty bond participation rates did indeed turn against the Democrats, relative to their voting patterns in earlier elections."
