1912年美国总统选举是第三十二届美国总统选举。选举每四年举办一次，这一次举办于1912年11月5日星期二。来自民主党的新泽西州长伍德罗·威尔逊击败了来自共和党的现任总统威廉·霍华德·塔夫脱，当选美国总统。前总统西奥多·罗斯福作为进步党（即公鹿党）候选人参与了本次大选，同样也被威尔逊击败。本次大选是美国最后一次非民主党或共和党党籍的候选人进入前二名的大选，标志着现代美国政治的两个政党取得首要地位。

罗斯福曾作为共和党人，任1901年-1909年的美国总统。在他的支持下，塔夫脱在1908年被共和党提名为总统候选人。然而，塔夫脱在当选总统后，却做出了一些令罗斯福不悦的行为。罗斯福在1912年共和党全国大会上与塔夫脱竞争候选人之位，但塔夫脱和他的保守派盟友险胜。于是，罗斯福率领他的进步派（英语：Progressivism in the United States）盟友另起炉灶，创立了一个第三党参加大选。这个第三党便是进步党。进步党成立不久后，罗斯福举办了一场竞选演说，演说中途有记者来提问，罗斯福便回答道：“我感觉自己就像头公鹿一样顽强！”，从此进步党便得名“公鹿党”。[2]在民主党这边，威尔逊受到威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩等民主党进步派的支持，在第46轮投票中战胜了众议院议长钱普·克拉克等候选人，成为民主党总统候选人。同时，社会党再一次提名了多年来的领袖尤金·V·德布斯。

1912年大选的竞争主要在三个人——威尔逊、罗斯福和塔夫脱——之间展开，他们中的任何一个人都可能胜选。罗斯福推出了“新民族主义”纲领，要求推行社会保险计划。实行八小时工作制，并建立起联邦政府在经济调节中的牢固地位。威尔逊推出了“新自由”纲领，要求推行关税改革和银行业改革，并设立新的反托拉斯法。塔夫脱深知自己不太可能获胜，所以他根据自己的“进步保守主义”纲领，发起了一场温和的竞选活动。德布斯宣称另外三个候选人都受到了信托基金的支援，他希望自己的社会主义政策能够激起对自身的支持。

威尔逊成功利用了共和党的分裂：他不仅赢得了40个州，还赢下了大部分的选举人票（531票中的435票）。他是1892年以来，第一个胜选成为总统的民主党人，也是美国内战到第一次世界大战爆发之间唯二的民主党总统中的一个。罗斯福赢得了88张选举人票，而塔夫脱只赢得了佛蒙特州和犹他州的8张选举人票。威尔逊赢得了41.8%的普选票，罗斯福赢得了27%，塔夫脱赢得了23%，德布斯赢得了6%。

背景

来自共和党的总统西奥多·罗斯福为了对美国人民履行自己不寻求第二个完整任期的承诺，拒绝在1908年美国总统选举中竞选连任。罗斯福的第一个总统任期（1901年-1905年）继承自被刺杀的前总统威廉·麦金莱，因此，这一任期并不完整；他到了第二个任期（1905年-1909年）才真正任满了4年。第二任期结束的时候，罗斯福指定国务卿威廉·霍华德·塔夫脱担任他的接班人，之后在大选中，塔夫脱击败了民主党候选人威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩，胜选总统。

塔夫脱在自己的任期中逐渐与罗斯福产生了分歧，后来，两人分别成了共和党两个派系的领袖：进步派（英语：Progressivism in the United States）（由罗斯福领导）和保守派（由塔夫脱领导）。进步派赞成限制妇女及儿童就业，提倡环境保护，且更加同情工会，还赞成举办普选选举联邦和各州的法官，反对由总统和州长任命法官。保守派支持对进口商品征收高关税，以鼓励消费者购买美国制造的产品（大部分进步派也支持这一点），他们更加青睐商界领袖而非工会，且反对举办普选选举法官。

到了1910年，两派之间的矛盾已不可调和，导致罗斯福和塔夫脱抛弃友谊，互相敌对。共和党在1910年的中期选举（英语：1910 United States House of Representatives elections）中失利，使得党的分裂继续扩大。塔夫脱在1909年废弃了罗斯福的反托拉斯法，[3]并转而支持佩恩-奥尔德里奇关税法案（英语：Payne–Aldrich Tariff Act），[4]又在1910年开除了时任国家森林局局长的著名环保主义者吉福德·平肖（英语：Gifford Pinchot），这两件事令他在进步派内的声望完全崩溃。[5]

民主党全国大会于6月25日-7月2日举办于马里兰州巴尔的摩，是20世纪中最令人难忘的一场总统提名大会。最初的领先者是密苏里州的众议院议长钱普·克拉克，克拉克在投票初期也确实得到了最多的代表票。不过，克拉克并未赢得获提名所需的二分之三的多数票（英语：Supermajority）。然而，纽约市强大而又腐败的民主党政治机器（英语：political machine）坦慕尼协会也宣布了对克拉克的支持，这就对克拉克的获提名机会造成了不良影响：前三次大选中民主党的总统候选人兼党内进步派领袖威廉·詹宁斯·布莱恩作为“华尔街”的候选人，开始反对克拉克，并转而支持新泽西州长伍德罗·威尔逊。威尔逊被认为是个温和的改革者，当时，他在每一轮投票中都仅次于克拉克，几乎放弃了胜选的希望，差点就要让支持他的代表们投票给其他人了。布莱恩成功率领起许多代表支持威尔逊，于是威尔逊逐渐增强了实力，而对克拉克的支持不断减少。最后在第46轮投票中，威尔逊成功获提。

印第安纳州州长托马斯·R·马歇尔在后来几轮投票中令印第安纳州的代表投票给威尔逊。他最后也被提名为威尔逊的竞选搭档。

1912年进步党全国大会

共和党进步派在芝加哥重新开了一场会议，决定组建一个全国的进步主义政党。当年晚些时候，新生的进步党（英语：Progressive Party (United States, 1912)）提名罗斯福为总统候选人，加利福尼亚州州长海勒姆·约翰逊为副总统候选人。罗斯福在回答记者的提问时，说感觉自己像一头“公鹿”一样强壮，从此进步党便得名“公鹿党”。进步党承诺强化联邦法规，并保护普通民众的福利。

进步党受到了出版商弗兰克·芒西和党执行秘书乔治·沃尔布里奇·珀金斯的资助。珀金斯是银行家约翰·皮尔庞特·摩根的国际收割机公司（英语：International Harvester）的一名员工，他阻止过一份反托拉斯法案的通过，令以为罗斯福是个真正的反托拉斯先锋的改革者们震惊。进步党的代表们唱着党歌“信徒精兵歌”来到了大会现场。罗斯福在他那著名的受命演说中，将即将来临的大选比作哈米吉多顿之战，称进步党将“为天主而战”。然而，美国许多亲共和党的报纸批评罗斯福是个自我中心主义者，说他参加大选只是为了破坏塔夫脱胜选的机会并满足自己的虚荣心。

A Punch cartoon by Leonard Raven-Hill, depicting the perceived aggression between Taft and Roosevelt.

For the first time, significant numbers of delegates to the national conventions were elected in presidential preference primaries. Progressive Republicans advocated primary elections as a way of breaking the control of political parties by bosses. Altogether, twelve states held Republican primaries. Senator Robert M. La Follette won two of the first four primaries (in North Dakota and Wisconsin), but beginning with his runaway victory in Illinois on April 9, Roosevelt won nine of the last ten presidential primaries (in order, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Oregon, Maryland, California, Ohio, New Jersey, and South Dakota), losing only Massachusetts to Taft.[6] As a sign of his great popularity, Roosevelt even carried Taft's home state of Ohio.

The Republican Convention convened in Chicago from June 18 to 22. Taft, however, had begun to gather delegates earlier, and the delegates chosen in the primaries were a minority. He had the support of the bulk of the party organizations in the Southern states; these states had voted solidly Democratic in every presidential election since 1880, and Roosevelt objected that they were given one-quarter of the delegates when they would contribute nothing to a Republican victory (as it turned out, delegates from the former Confederate states supported Taft by a 5 to 1 margin). When the convention gathered, Roosevelt challenged the credentials of nearly half of the delegates.[来源请求] By that time, however, it was too late. The delegates chose Elihu Root — once Roosevelt's top ally — to serve as chairman of the convention. Afterwards, the delegates seated Taft delegations in Alabama, Arizona, and California on tight votes of 597-472, 564-497, and 542-529, respectively. After losing California, where Roosevelt had won the primary, the progressive delegates gave up hope. They voted "present" on most succeeding roll calls. Not since the 1872 election had there been a major schism in the Republican Party. Now, with the Democrats holding about 45% of the national vote, any schism would be fatal. Roosevelt's only hope at the convention was to form a "stop-Taft" alliance with La Follette, but Roosevelt had alienated La Follette, and the alliance could not form.

Unable to tolerate the personal humiliation he suffered at the hands of Taft and the Old Guard, and refusing to entertain the possibility of a compromise candidate, Roosevelt struck back hard. On the evening of June 22, 1912, Roosevelt asked his supporters to leave the convention, maintaining that Taft had allowed fraudulent seating of delegates to capture the presidential nomination from progressive forces within the party. Thus, with the support of convention chairman Root, Taft's supporters outvoted Roosevelt's men, and the convention renominated the incumbent ticket of Taft and James S. Sherman. Sherman became the first sitting Vice President to be nominated for re-election since John C. Calhoun in 1828.

Eugene V. Debs's 6% was an all-time high for the Socialist Party

The Socialist Party of America was a highly factionalized coalition of local parties based in industrial cities and usually was rooted in ethnic communities, especially German and Finnish. It also had some support in old Populist rural and mining areas in the West, especially Oklahoma. By 1912, the party claimed more than a thousand locally elected officials in 33 states and 160 cities, especially the Midwest. Eugene V. Debs had run for president in 1900, 1904, and 1908, primarily to encourage the local effort, and he did so again in 1912 and from prison in 1920.[10]

The conservatives, led by Victor L. Berger from Milwaukee, promoted progressive causes of efficiency and an end to corruption, nicknamed "gas and water socialism." Their opponents were the radicals who wanted to overthrow capitalism, tried to infiltrate labor unions, and sought to cooperate with the Industrial Workers of the World ("the Wobblies"). With few exceptions, the party had weak or nonexistent links to local labor unions. Immigration was an issue—the radicals saw immigrants as fodder for the war with capitalism, while conservatives complained that they lowered wage rates and absorbed too many city resources. Many of these issues had been debated at the First National Congress of the Socialist Party in 1910, and they were debated again at the national convention in Indianapolis in 1912. At the latter, the radicals won an early test by seating Bill Haywood on the Executive Committee, sending encouragement to western "Wobblies", and passed a resolution seeming to favor industrial unionism. The conservatives counterattacked by amending the party constitution to expel any socialists who favored industrial sabotage or syndicalism (that is, the IWW), and who refused to participate in American elections. They adopted a conservative platform calling for cooperative organization of prisons, a national bureau of health, abolition of the Senate and the presidential veto. Debs did not attend; he saw his mission as keeping the disparate units together in the hope that someday a common goal would be found.

General election

Campaign

The 1912 presidential campaign was bitterly contested. Vice President James S. Sherman died in office on October 30, 1912, less than a week before the election, leaving President Taft without a running mate. (Nicholas M. Butler was designated to receive electoral votes that would have been cast for Sherman.) With the Republican Party divided, Wilson captured the presidency handily on November 5.[来源请求]

 
Republican campaign postcard charging a Democratic administration would remove pensioners from the rolls

While Roosevelt was campaigning in Milwaukee on October 14, 1912, a saloonkeeper from New York, John Flammang Schrank, shot him, but the bullet lodged in his chest only after penetrating both his steel eyeglass case and a 50-page single-folded copy of the speech titled "Progressive Cause Greater Than Any Individual", he was to deliver, carried in his jacket pocket. Schrank was immediately disarmed, captured and might have been lynched had Roosevelt not shouted for Schrank to remain unharmed.[11] Roosevelt assured the crowd he was all right, then ordered police to take charge of Schrank and to make sure no violence was done to him.[12] Roosevelt, as an experienced hunter and anatomist, correctly concluded that since he was not coughing blood, the bullet had not reached his lung, and he declined suggestions to go to the hospital immediately. Instead, he delivered his scheduled speech with blood seeping into his shirt.[13] He spoke for 90 minutes before completing his speech and accepting medical attention. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose."[14][15] Afterwards, probes and an x-ray showed that the bullet had lodged in Roosevelt's chest muscle, but did not penetrate the pleura. Doctors concluded that it would be less dangerous to leave it in place than to attempt to remove it, and Roosevelt carried the bullet with him for the rest of his life.[16][17] In later years, when asked about the bullet inside him, Roosevelt would say, "I do not mind it any more than if it were in my waistcoat pocket."[18]

Both Taft and Democratic nominee Woodrow Wilson suspended their own campaigning until Roosevelt recovered and resumed his. When asked if the shooting would affect his election campaign, he said to the reporter "I'm fit as a bull moose", which inspired the party's emblem.[19] He spent two weeks recuperating before returning to the campaign trail.

The election of 1912 is considered the high tide of progressive politics. Had either Roosevelt or Taft stayed out of the race, a Republican victory would have been assured.[来源请求]

The Socialists had little money; Debs' campaign cost only $66,000, mostly for 3.5 million leaflets and travel to rallies organized by local groups. His biggest event was a speech to 15,000 supporters in New York City. The crowd sang "La Marseillaise" and "The Internationale" as Emil Seidel, the vice- presidential candidate, boasted, "Only a year ago workingmen were throwing decayed vegetables and rotten eggs at us but now all is changed... Eggs are too high. There is a great giant growing up in this country that will someday take over the affairs of this nation. He is a little giant now but he is growing fast. The name of this little giant is socialism." Debs said that only the socialists represented labor. He condemned "Injunction Bill Taft" and ridiculed Roosevelt as "a charlatan, mountebank, and fraud, and his Progressive promises and pledges as the mouthings of a low and utterly unprincipled self seeker and demagogue." Debs insisted that the Democrats, Progressives, and Republicans alike were financed by the trusts. Party newspapers spread the word—there were five English-language and eight foreign-language dailies along with 262 English and 36 foreign-language weeklies. The labor union movement, however, largely rejected Debs and supported Wilson.[来源请求]

 
Roosevelt mixing "radical" ingredients in his speeches in this 1912 editorial cartoon by Karl K. Knecht (1883–1972) in the Republican Evansville Courier newspaper

Roosevelt conducted a vigorous national campaign for the Progressive Party, denouncing the way the Republican nomination had been "stolen". He bundled together his reforms under the rubric of "The New Nationalism" and stumped the country for a strong federal role in regulating the economy and chastising bad corporations. Wilson supported a policy called "The New Freedom". This policy was based mostly on individualism instead of a strong government. Taft campaigned quietly, and spoke of the need for judges to be more powerful than elected officials. The departure of the more progressive Republicans left the conservative Republicans even more firmly in control of their party until 1916, when many progressives returned. Much of the Republican effort was designed to discredit Roosevelt as a dangerous radical, but this had little effect.[来源请求]

Tariffs and Republican Party split

Before the ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (1913), the funding of the United States government heavily relied upon tariffs. Tariffs are a direct taxation of raw materials and manufactured goods with regard to trade. This issue was key in fracturing the Republican Party. Early in his term, President Taft had promised to stand for a lower tariff bill. Protectionism was major policy of the business oriented Republican Party.[20]

After Congressional deliberation, the Payne-Aldrich Act (1909) was passed and signed by President Taft. The Payne-Aldrich Act would not satisfy the growing economic sectionalism of the country; the Northwest and South wanted tariff reductions on manufactured goods, as well as more raw materials to be added to the 'free-list' (non-taxed goods)[21] The new tariff policy would increase duties; going against President Taft's promises, it further alienated the progressive wing of the Republican Party. President Taft's inability to satisfy both wings of his party would create a political opening for his predecessor, Theodore Roosevelt, to make a run for the presidency. Theodore Roosevelt would rally progressives with speeches to pressure the political establishment. In regards to the existing tariff policy, Theodore Roosevelt would vouch for "...an expert tariff commission, wholly removed from the possibility of political pressure or of improper business influence.".[22]

Shades of blue are for Wilson (Democratic), shades of green are for Roosevelt (Progressive), shades of red are for Taft (Republican), shades of yellow are for Debs (Socialist), light grey indicates zero recorded votes and dark grey indicates territories not elevated to statehood

The impact of the third-party vote is indicated by the fact that few states were carried by a majority of the popular vote. Taft carried two states (Utah and Vermont), Roosevelt six, and Wilson forty. Taft carried no state with a popular majority, Roosevelt one (South Dakota, where there was no Republican ticket), and Wilson eleven, all of them states of the former Confederacy. More than two-thirds of Wilson's total vote was cast in the 37 states that he did not carry by majority vote.[23]

Wilson's vote, 6,296,919, was less than William Jennings Bryan totaled in any one of his campaigns, and over 100,000 less than Bryan received in 1908, when Bryan won only 162 electoral votes.[23] Wilson fell behind Bryan's results in most of the country, and notably so in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Nebraska, Kansas, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Arkansas. In only two sections was Wilson's vote greater than the greatest Bryan vote: New England and the Pacific.[24] Wilson led the poll in 1,969 counties, but he received a majority of the vote in only 1,237 counties, less than Bryan had had in any of his campaigns.[24] Taft had a majority in only 35, and "Other(s)" in only 305. These small figures clearly reveal the result of the division of the normal Republican vote, as does the fact that in a plurality of counties (1,396) no candidate obtained a majority.[25] Taft had a lead over the field in only 232 counties. In addition to South Dakota and California, where there was no Taft ticket, and seven "Solid South" states in which he carried no county, Taft also carried no counties in Maine, New Jersey, Minnesota, Nevada and Arizona.[24] Nine counties did not record any votes due to either black disenfranchisement or being inhabited only by Native Americans who would not gain full citizenship for twelve more years.

The 772 counties not carried by Wilson or by Taft were distributed in 38 states, most of them in Pennsylvania (48), Illinois (33), Michigan (68), Minnesota (75), Iowa (49), South Dakota (54), Nebraska (32), Kansas (51), Washington (38), and California (44), and almost without exception were carried by Roosevelt. Debs carried four counties in Minnesota (Lake and Beltrami), North Dakota (Burke County), and Kansas (Crawford County), the only counties ever to vote socialist in a presidential election.

This was the first time in 60 years (since 1852) that Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Rhode Island voted for a Democrat, and the first time in history that Massachusetts voted for a Democratic candidate. This was the last election in which the Democrats won Maine until 1964, the last in which the Democrats won Connecticut and Delaware until 1936, the last in which the Democrats won Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, West Virginia, and Wisconsin until 1932, and the last in which the Democrats won Massachusetts and Rhode Island until 1928. After the 2016 presidential election, 1912 remains the last election in which the key Indiana counties of Hamilton and Hendricks, along with Walworth County, Wisconsin, Pulaski and Laurel Counties in Kentucky and Hawkins County, Tennessee have given a plurality to the Democratic candidate.[26] In post-Civil War America, this is the only presidential election in which a third party candidate outperformed one of the candidates from the two-major parties in the general election.

The 1912 election was the first to include all 48 of the current contiguous United States.

Taft's 1912 result was the worst performance for any incumbent president seeking re-election, both in terms of electoral votes (8) and share of popular votes (23.17%). His electoral votes also represented the fewest number of electoral votes by either major parties, matched with Alf Landon's 1936 result. He was also remained the only major party nominee not finished in top two.
