The 1920 Democratic National Convention was held at the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, California from June 28 to July 6, 1920. It resulted in the nomination of Governor James M. Cox of Ohio for president and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt from New York for vice president. The 1920 Democratic National Convention marked the first time any party had held its nominating convention in a West Coast city.
Neither President Woodrow Wilson, in spite of his failing health, nor former Secretary of State and three-time presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan had entirely given up hope that their party would turn to them, but neither was, in the event, formally nominated. In addition to the eventual nominee, Cox, the other high-scoring candidates as the voting proceeded were: Secretary of the Treasury William McAdoo and Attorney General Mitchell Palmer. On the forty-fourth ballot, Governor James M. Cox of Ohio was nominated for the Presidency.{{cite book |last=Pietrusza |first=David |title=1920: The Year of the Six Presidents |location=New York |publisher=Carroll and Graf |year=2007 |isbn=978-0-7867-1622-7 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Uia4A04q8dMC }} Cora Wilson Stewart of Kentucky, head of the National Education Association's new illiteracy commission, was chosen to second the nomination for Governor Cox.{{cite book|last1=Baldwin|first1=Yvonne Honeycutt|title=Cora Wilson Stewart and Kentucky's Moonlight Schools: Fighting for Literacy in America|date=2006|publisher=The University Press of Kentucky|location=Lexington|page=127}} Mrs. Stewart was selected to replace Kentucky Representative J.

The platform adopted by the convention supported the League of Nations, albeit with qualifications, and women's suffrage.

Although William Gibbs McAdoo (Wilson's son-in-law and former Treasury Secretary) was the strongest candidate, Wilson blocked his nomination in hopes a deadlocked convention would demand that he run for a third term, even though he was seriously ill, physically immobile, and in seclusion at the time. The Democrats instead nominated Ohio Governor James M. Cox as their presidential candidate and 38-year-old Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt, a fifth cousin of the late president Theodore Roosevelt, for vice-president.
Fourteen names were placed in nomination. Early favorites for the nomination had included McAdoo and Attorney General Alexander Mitchell Palmer. Others placed in nomination included New York Governor Al Smith, United Kingdom Ambassador John W. Davis, New Jersey Governor Edward I. Edwards, and Oklahoma Senator Robert Latham Owen.
History was made at the convention when Laura Clay, a delegate from Kentucky and co-founder of the Kentucky Equal Rights Association and the Democratic Women's Club of Kentucky, became the first woman to have her name placed into nomination for president at the convention of a major political party.{{cite news|last1=Eblen|first1=Tom|title=Meet the Kentuckians who led the fight for women's rights a century ago|url=http://www.kentucky.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/tom-eblen/article161459168.html|access-date=26 September 2017|work=Lexington Herald-Leader|date=14 July 2017}} She was also the first woman to receive a convention delegation's vote for the presidency.{{cite news|title=First Woman to Get Vote for President - Laura Clay|url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1920/07/06/page/1/article/first-woman-to-get-vote-for-president-laura-clay|access-date=26 September 2017|work=Chicago Tribune|date=26 July 1920}}
