The Presidential Candidates of 1912
By Editor
The candidates for the Republican Party for president and vice-president of the United States are William H. Taft and James S. Sherman, both for reelection. Mr. Roosevelt bolted with a respectable minority and formed the nucleus of a new party. The Democratic candidates are Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, and Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana. Mr. Taft was nominated by a majority vote on the first ballot; Mr. Wilson by a two thirds vote on the forty-sixth ballot. We may well wish and pray that the campaign between now and the election in November will be conducted with greater dignity and more gentlemanship than one at least of the pre-nomination campaigns.
