Four hats in the ring by Lewis L. Gould
The election of 1912 found not just two but four well-qualified and distinguished candidates running for president. The republicans had William Howard Taft, the sitting president, the democrats had Woodrow Wilson, The Progressive party has Theodore Roosevelt, and the Socialist party has Eugene V. Debs. This was a very interesting book. Some of the issues that they discussed did not get taken care of until decades after this election. It was surprising that they were so important during this campaign. Some of the problem that you found in our election this year was present in that election also. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in history. Pat M
