	912: Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft And Debs - The Election That Changed The Country, James Chace
		During an election year, it is always interesting and often enlightening to read about presidential elections from America's past, if only to reflect on how the times have changed.
		Ultimately, the agenda of present as well as future elections is actually a reflection of the subtle changes that both political parties have undergone over the years.
		Chace conveys the dramatic nature of the 1912 election, as it proceeded from the important primaries through the hotly contested conventions and ultimately concluded with Wilson's victory, which was accomplished with less than a majority of the popular vote.

		James Chace describes the 1912 presidential campaign as one that âconstitutes a defining moment in American history.â While he is right to note the importance of this election, â1912: Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft and Debs â“ the Election That Changed the Countryâ is a less than monumental study.

		The vote polled in 1912 by Debs, who garnered the largest share of the popular total ever won by a Socialist candidate, revealed the depth of the reformist forces sweeping the land.
		In its essence, 1912 introduced a conflict between progressive idealism, later incarnated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal -- and subsequently by Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton -- and conservative values, which reached their fullness with the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush.
		For the rest of the century and even into the next, the Republican Party was riven by the struggle between reform and reaction, and between unilateralism in foreign relations and cosmopolitan internationalism.

		President of Princeton University from 1902 until his election as New Jersey governor, Wilson succeeded in his campaigns for both governor and president with significant aid from practical political organizers.
		The Socialist tally of slightly over 900,000 votes in 1912, about 6% of the total votes cast, was more than double the number voting for Debs in the 1908 election, reflecting the increasing strength of the left that placed resulting pressure on the major parties to advocate labor and social reforms to counter this trend.
		Wilson's election made him only the second Democrat to win the presidency since the Civil War, a victory gained with only 42 percent of the popular vote.

	Election Registers - Texas State Library
		The law defining the duties of the Secretary of State, passed in 1846, includes a provision that he shall, "in a separate book, suitable for the purpose, keep a complete register of all officers appointed and elected in the State..." The origins of the three Republic-era Election Registers, in contrast, are obscure.
		The first (1836-1842) of the two volumes appears consistent with an office memorandum book, its entries lacking uniformity and, occasionally, legibility--clearly not intended as an official register; the second (1843-1846) resembles, both in physical appearance and in information recorded, the official volumes created by State government.
		For compiled election returns beginning in 1850, consult the microfilm edition of the Secretary of State Executive Record Books.

		The 1912 election would be his fourth run for the White House, though even Debs realized that his presidential campaigns were more about exposure on the bully pulpit than the prize itself.
		Unfortunately for Debs in 1912, the issue of populism was now becoming semi-respectable, and others with more name recognition were willing to take the banner that Debs had manfully carried alone in past elections.

	1912: Competing Visions of America
		At the same time, the creators are using the 1912 presidential election as a case study for applying their thinking, seeking to identify the key issues from the election.
		The challenge that made this election so interesting (and is the only vision of America that is vastly different from the others) was the strength of labor leader-turned-socialist Eugene Victor Debs, who had come to national prominence in the Pullman Strike in 1894, became a Socialist, and was running (again) as a charismatic presidential candidate.
		You can connect to two other issues, although neither really contributes much to understanding the election; one deals with “cost of living” which was, they submit, a pervasive issue in the campaign (although this is an issue of much political thumping of chests and gnashing of teeth in most all presidential elections).

		Faced with the challenge of adapting America's political and social order to the rise of corporate capitalism, in 1912 four presidential candidates -- Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, and Eugene Debs -- shaped Americans' thoughts about their public futures.
		Their positions would come to frame national conversation over the role of corporations in American life, determine the relation between the state and society that still controls our thinking about market regulation, and usher in a period of Progressive reform.
		Connecting the debates of 1912 to some of the most pressing issues of the Progressive Era, this volume presents selected sensational speeches, correspondence between these important figures and their allies and opponents, and 12 lively political cartoons.

		There is one accurate generalization about American presidential elections, and that is that no two elections are ever alike.
		The incumbent William Howard Taft was the choice of the party regulars, while his predecessor in office, Theodore Roosevelt, took the progressive faction from the GOP and formed the Bull Moose Party.
		This election also meant the handing of the presidency to the Democrats and to Woodrow Wilson, who chameleon-like became a "progressive," much to the consternation of white Southern Democrats.
