There were several pro-League Republicans that did publicly declare for Cox. On the other hand, most of them such as Herbert Hoover stayed with the Republican ticket.
The League issue was something in which there was little to be gained. But those who were anti-League and those Americans whose home countries were negatively affected by the Treaty of Versailles (e.g. Germany, Italy, and Ireland) had a massive reaction against the Democrats. Big reasons why the upper Midwest (German dominated) states and cities like New York and Boston (large Irish populations)--all of whom supported Wilson in 1916-- rolled up huge Republican majorities in 1920.
