The election of 1912 was between four candidates. William Howard Taft was the incumbent at the time and was nominated by the Republican Party to represent the conservative wing. Theodore Roosevelt also sought nomination from the Republicans, but failing to receive it, he chose to run with the Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party. Woodrow Wilson ran for the Democratic Party, and Eugene V. Debs for the Socialist Party. Wilson swept away the competition and won the election easily.
The party was the Progressive Party ( better known as the Bull Moose Party ) which ran ex- Republican president Theodore Roosevelt against the Republican candidate Wm. H. Taft and the Democratic nominee Woodrow Wilson. Together Taft and Roosevelt got enough votes to win, but separately Wilson was the winner. 1912 was the only election in US history in which a third party candidate finished second.
