from
Wikipedia
Following the disbandment of the Progressive Party, Pinchot returned to the Republican Party, and focused on Pennsylvania state politics.
Governor William Sproul appointed him state Commissioner of Forestry in 1920.
Pinchot's aim, however, was to become governor.
His 1922 campaign for the office concentrated on popular reforms: government economy, enforcement of Prohibition and regulation of public utilities.
He won by a wide margin.
In 1924, Pinchot considered challenging President Calvin Coolidge for the Republican nomination, but ultimately declined to run for the presidency.
