| <small>Widely believed to have been backed by the mafia in his presidential run, President Tremblay's links to organised crime were eventually exposed in several bribery scandals that rocked the country, leading to his impeachment in 1926 and the installation of Robert "Corky" Carlan as President.</small>

Despite the success of "Carlan's Crusade" he narrowly lost the 1932 election to Oscar Fairfull. The Democratic Party would disintegrate in 1936 after Carlan's retirement, with most of its members joining the Liberal Party.</small>

The son of businessman and Senator L.E Ó Leannáin, Einrí Ó Leannáin Sr. ran for President in 1937 after Oscar Fairfull refused to rerun. Focusing on economic policies in his presidency, Einrí Ó Leannáin was unpopular due to his demagoguery, indecisiveness, and his aggressive foreign policy. It was partly due to President Einrí Ó Leannáin's reputation that his son Micheál Ó Leannáin decided to run for President to redeem the family name.</small>

Despite his unpopular image, his cautious strategy is believed to have allowed the Conservative Party to bounce back a decade later in the 1977 elections.
