49, Many papers describe the election of Woodrow
Wilson to the presidency democratic landslide
An examination of the popular shows that this is
not true. Wilson received only about the same popular
vote and possibly tre less than did Bryan four
ago-something six millions Taft received seven
millions four years ago but this year he received only
three millions while Roosevelt received four million
The election of Wilson due to two things-the split
in the Republican party which Taft invited and viii oh
Roosevelt effected and the further fact Wilson was
strong enough to hold most of the Democr attic
votes and gain a few Republican votes
