| <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> | |||

| 1926 | |||
| 1932 <small></small> | |||
| <small>Attempting to salvage the party's image, President Carlan dismissed officials believed to be connected to organised crime. Carlan successfully ensured Tremblay's bad reputation did not stick, allowing the Democratic Party to narrowly win the 1927 election. His second term was marked with crackdowns on organised crime and periods of gang violence such as 1929's Bloody Spring. 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.
