Election of 1912
 * || [[image:http://ehistory.osu.edu/osu/mmh/1912/images/4CandidatesTRANS.gif width="412" height="215" caption="image: party candidates cartoon"]] ||

For the United States presidential election of 1912 it was fought among three major candidates, two of whom had previously won election to the office. Incumbent President William Howard Taft was renominated by the Republican party with the support of the conservative wing of the party. After former President Theodore Roosevelt failed to get the Republican nomination, he called his own convention and created a new Progressive Party which was nicknamed the Bull Moose Party. It nominated Roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. Democrat Woodrow Wilson was nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, thanks to the support of William Jennings Bryan. He defeated both Taft and Roosevelt in the general election, winning a huge majority in the Electoral College despite only winning 42% of the popular vote, and initiating the only period between 1892 and 1932 when a Democrat was elected President. Wilson was the second of only two Democrats to be elected President between 1860 and 1932. This was also the last election in which a third party candidate came in second in the Electoral College.

Women’s Suffrage Movement Women's Suffrage- In the early 19th century may women were second-class citizens because their life only consisted of taking care of their homes and their familys. Many women after they were married were not allowed to own property, maintain wages, sign a contract, or even vote. Many women in the 19th century had to be independent on their husbands. Women were not allowed to travel or better yet speak in public. Women had to listen to their husbands at all times and the women were inferior to their husbands. Alice Paul and The National Women's Party begun using more tactics to work for a federal suffrage amendment to the constitution. The women staged the white house with large marches and demonstrations, going to jail. While these women were going on march they would strave their self the whole time through out the march and the police forced tubes down the womens throat so that they could eat. Thousands of women took part in these marches. In 1913 Paul led a march of eight thousand women on President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration day. During the second inaugural Paul led a march around the White House. During World War 1, when women took up jobs in factories to support the war, as well as taking more active roles in the war than in previous wars. After the war, even the more restrained National American Woman Suffrage Association, headed by Carrie Chapman Catt, took many opportunities to remind the President, and the Congress, that women's war work should be rewarded with recognition of their political equality. Wilson responded by beginning to support woman suffrage. On June 4, 1919, the United States Senate also endorsed the Amendment, voting 56 to 25, and sending the amendment to the states. And so on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution became law, and women could vote in the fall elections, including in the Presidential election. \ Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States after William McKinley was assassinated in 1901. He was a leader of the Republican party and progressive movement. Before he became the president he was the governor of New York.

Temperance Movement In the beginning of the 20th century, until the early twenties, organizations made the issue of prohibition of alcohol a national issue. This effort came with the passage of the eighteenth amendment banning the sale, or consumption of alcohol anywhere in the US. In order to get their point across prohibitionists needed to prove the evils which were presented by alcohol. Groups like the American Medical Association, along with other members of the educated public, joined forces in order to fight the evils which alcohol presented. These people, along with businessmen, tried to explain how alcohol violated the theories of proper social life. Other groups tried to show how alcohol would ruin the American way of life. Women were the major force behind the temperance movement. The reason for this was because they were afraid of the abuse, disease, and poverty which was brought on by alcohol. Women were looking to preserve the purity of the American family, and therefore were very involved in influencing legislation. But the Temperance movement was a total disaster. "Bootleggers" brought alcohol over from Canada, and many people became quit e proficient in developing home- made brews. However, it was a process which helped shape America. For the first time women became very active in influencing legislation, and the democratic process.
