In 1912 the Republican vote was split between two candidates. The official Republican nominee was Taft, however, Theodore Roosevelt ran as a member of his own Bull Moose party and drew away enough of the Republican vote from Taft to ensure that Woodrow Wilson would win.

incumbent President William Howard Taft

His running mate, William O. Butler, was chosen at the last minute because his Vice President, James S. Sherman, died about a week before Election Day. That was the last of seven times that a U. S. Vice President died in office.

In 1912, the incumbent President, William Howard Taft, was the Republican nominee and he won the loyal Republican vote. However, Theodore Roosevelt, who also sought the Republican nomination and had been been a Republican president, formed his own party and ran against against Taft. Roosevelt got more votes than Taft, and you might call them Republican votes but really they were for Roosevelt's party which was not the Republicans in 1912.
