President Woodrow Wilson beat Taft in reelection.
In the 1908 U.S. presidential election, U.S. Secretary of War William Howard Taft (R-OH) beat U.S. Representative William Jennings Bryan (D-NE) 321 to 162.
There was more than one president during the time period from 1900 to 1910. The most notable was Theodore Roosevelt, who served from 1901 to 1909. President William McKinley served as president from 1897 until he was assassinated in September of 1901, and his vice president (Roosevelt) succeeded him. Theodore ("Teddy") Roosevelt was succeeded by William Howard Taft in 1909, and he served until 1913.
It was called both the Progressive Party and the Bull Moose Party. He formed it in 1912 after he failed to get the Republican nomination for president. He beat the Republican candidate, William Howard Taft, but lost to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Added together Roosevelt and Taft had more than enough votes to win over Wilson.
The candidates in 1912 were the incumbent Republican,Wm. Howard Taft, the Democratic candidate, Woodrow Wilson and ex-president, Theodore Roosevelt who ran as a third-party ( Bull-Moose) candidate. Roosevelt got more votes than Taft but not enough to beat Wilson.
Taft and Roosevelt combined had more votes than Wilson, but Wilson had the most votes of any one candidate.
No he beat Tommy Dreamer
On 11 March 1996, John Howard defeated Paul Keating to become Prime Minister of Australia.
The election of 1912 was important because of Roosevelt's challenges to Taft. Roosevelt felt as if Taft was too conservative and not progressive enough, and this marked a change in American history.
Former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third party candidate against incumbent Republican President William H. Taft in 1912. Democrat Woodrow Wilson beat both of them (as should be expected when the votes on one side are split).
Baseball history reports that President William Howard Taft was the first president to throw out the ceremonial "first pitch" in the Major Leagues. He did so to open the 1910 season in Washington when the Senators hosted the Philadelphia Athletics to start the season. By the way, Walter Johnson shut out the A's 1-0 with a one-hitter on opening day, however, the A's recovered and went on to win the American League and beat the Chicago Cubs in the World Series.
