An Earlier Great Depression and the 1924 Presidential Election

In the post-WW 1 period there was a depression in 1920 that was partly caused by the shift away from a wartime economy. WI it had lasted longer, and been aggravated by the subsequent 1923 recession? What effect would it have had on the 1924 Presidential elections?

The candidates were:

Calvin Coolidge

John W. Davis

Robert M. La Follette, Sr.

With a 1920s Great Depression, would the Democrats have courted LaFollette as their liberal/populist nominee? Or would somebody else-like Al Smith, who also ran for the nomination but lost due to a party that was divided over prohibition-have won the nomination-and possibly the election, as well? And what would have been the fate of prohibition afterwards?
 
Well, butterflies and different issues caused by an earlier Great Depression would probably result in different candidates.
