MichaelWest - Taft and Roosevelt
This is one of my pre-Great War points of departure musings:
1913-1917: William H. Taft / Franklin Murphy (Republican)
Defeated: Woodrow Wilson / Thomas R. Marshall (Democrat) in 1912 election.
1901-1913: Theodore Roosevelt Jr. (Republican)
VP: None (1901-1904), Charles W. Fairbanks (1905-1909), William H. Taft (1909-1913).
Defeated William Jennings Bryan (Democrat) in 1904 and 1908 elections.
Notes: In 1908, Charles E. Hughes was offered the vice-presidential nomination by Theodore Roosevelt Jr., but he declined it to run again for Governor of New York. On April 25, 1910, President Theodore Roosevelt Jr. nominated Charles E. Hughes for Associate Justice to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice David J. Brewer.
