The 1912 presidential election is the only one in American history
in which candidates included a president, a former president and a
future president. Theodore Roosevelt was president from 1901 to
1908 but chose not to run again. He hand-picked his Secretary of
War, William Howard Taft to succeed him and Taft was elected
easily. But when Taft took actions as president that infuriated
Roosevelt, he chose to challenge Taft for the 1912 Republican
nomination, setting off the most raucous convention in American
history. When Taft emerged as the nominee, Roosevelt bolted from
the Republican Party and ran as a third-party candidate on the
Progressive (Bull Moose) ticket. That caused a split in the GOP
that allowed Democrat Woodrow Wilson to become president. The
impact of the Roosevelt revolt has affected the Republican Party
for more than 100 years.
