After Roosevelt 's death in 1919 , many of Roosevelt 's former supporters backed Wood for the presidential nomination at the 1920 Republican National Convention . Wood received the most votes on the first four ballots of the convention , but the Republicans nominated Warren G. Harding for president . Wood retired from the army in 1921 and was appointed Governor General of the Philippines later that year . He held that position until his death in 1927
