Maine voted for Republican nominee, Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio , over the Democratic nominee, Governor James M. Cox of Ohio . Harding ran with Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts , while Cox ran with Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York .
Harding won Maine by a margin of 39.12 percent. His victory in the New England states was helped in by the local popularity of his running mate, Calvin Coolidge, a traditional New England Yankee born in the small-town of Plymouth Notch, Vermont , who had started his political career nearby as Governor of Massachusetts .
