WI: President William T. Sherman

[Mikestone8]

The Catholic issue was volatile, but the Democrats (and I am assuming Sherman runs as a Republican) could not run with it too far because their electoral strength in the North depended on Catholics. The Klan at this point was dormant, and they were really the ones who were able to motivate people to vote on that issue later on in the 1920s in areas like the Midwest.

And was the Klan particularly interested in Catholics at that time. Its 20C avatar certainly was, but I thought the original one was more narrowly focused.

OTOH, anti-Catholic (and especially anti-Irish) bigotry seems to have been almost respectable in many circles. Google Harpers Weekly and take a look at how Irishmen are portrayed in the cartoons of Thomas Nast.
