The 33rd episode in a very long series about the American presidential elections from 1788 to the present. In 1916, World War One rages on in Europe and things are crazy in Mexico, so foreign policy dominates each campaign.
The 33rd Presidential election in American history took place on November 7, 1916. Over in Europe, it pretty much seemed like the end of the world. Quite literally. The entire continent was destroying itself. Millions were mobilized and millions were dying in what later became known as World War One. I have song about World War One, of course.
How horrifying was World War One? Well I strongly recommend the Great War YouTube channel to get the specific details, but to give you a sample...The Battle of Verdun, which was still going on by election day, had been going on since February, with no end in sight. Just in this one battle- hundreds of thousands of soldiers had died. This was a new kind of war. One with industrialized weapons that could cause massive destruction, and one that simply the majority of Americans didn’t want anything to do with.
Still, Americans had good reasons for not being too happy with the Germans. After a British ocean liner carrying Americans called the Lusitania was sunk by a German submarine the previous year, many had called for some kind of action against the Germans.
At the same time, the Mexican Revolution was happening to the south, and people didn’t know what was going to happen with their government there. It was a truly scary time, but most Americans felt the United States should just stay neutral with foreign affairs. Let’s just mind our own business, alright?
President Woodrow Wilson had kept the country neutral, and ran for re-election with the overwhelming support of the Democratic Party. Wilson and Vice President Thomas Marshall were easily renominated. The Democrats built their entire campaign around the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War,” scaring people into thinking that the Republicans would get the country in a war with both Germany and Mexico.
After suffering their worst Presidential defeat in history in 1912, the Republicans tried to rebound and heal the division that had caused the Progressives to leave. They went with the moderate and uncontroversial Charles Evans Hughes, who hadn’t spoken publicly about political issues in six years because he was a Supreme Court Justice. Hughes was the only Supreme Court Justice to ever be nominated for President by a major political party. The Republicans nominated former Vice President Charles Fairbanks as his running mate, another safe choice.
The Progressive Party tried to renominate Theodore Roosevelt, but he turned it down, saying it didn’t want to throw the election again to the Democrats. Because Roosevelt now just really wanted to see Wilson out of there, he endorsed Hughes, and many Progressives followed his lead. This left the Progressive Party in a mess, and they simply did not recover from this.
Meanwhile, the Socialist Party had to find someone else to run this time, as Eugene Debs was running for Congress instead this election. They nominated Allan Benson, a newspaper editor from Michigan, with George Ross Kirkpatrick, a political activist and writer from New Jersey, as his running mate. Both Benson and Kirkpatrick were very outspoken about getting involved with the war. In fact, they argued that all citizens should be able to vote by referendum whether to go to war or not.
The Prohibition Party nominated Frank Hanly, the former of Governor of Indiana, with Ira Landrith, a minister and activist from Tennessee, as his running mate.
Foreign policy dominated all of the campaigns. Wilson’s people tried to promote the idea that he was the “peace candidate,” despite the fact that Wilson had sent troops to intervene in the Mexican Civil War. Hughes just wanted the United States to be more ready to fight in case they had to.

SUMMARY
=======
The United States presidential election of 1916 was the 33rd quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 1916. Incumbent Democratic President Woodrow Wilson defeated Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes, the Republican candidate. Wilson was the only sitting Democratic president to win re-election between 1832 and 1936.
Wilson was re-nominated without opposition at the 1916 Democratic National Convention. The 1916 Republican National Convention chose Hughes as a compromise between the conservative and progressive wings of the party. Hughes defeated John W. Weeks, Elihu Root, and several other candidates on the third ballot of the convention, becoming the only Supreme Court Justice to serve as a major party's presidential nominee. While conservative and progressive Republicans had been divided in the 1912 election between the candidacies of then-incumbent President William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt, they largely united around Hughes in his bid to oust Wilson.
The election took place during the time of the Mexican Revolution and World War I. Although officially neutral in the European conflict, public opinion in the United States leaned towards the Allied forces headed by Great Britain and France against the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, due in large measure to the harsh treatment of civilians by the German Army in Belgium and northern France and the militaristic character of the German and Austrian monarchies, but in spite of their sympathy with the Allied forces most American voters wanted to avoid involvement in the war and preferred to continue a policy of neutrality. Wilson's campaign used the popular slogans "He kept us out of war" and "America First" to appeal to those voters who wanted to avoid a war in Europe or with Mexico. Hughes criticized Wilson for not taking the "necessary preparations" to face a conflict, which only served to strengthen Wilson's image as an anti-war candidate. Ironically, the United States would enter the war in April 1917, one month after Wilson's inauguration as president.
After a hard-fought contest, Wilson defeated Hughes by nearly 600,000 votes in the popular vote. The 1916 election saw an increase in Wilson's popular vote from the four-way election of 1912, but a major decline in the number of electoral votes won. Wilson secured a narrow majority in the Electoral College by sweeping the Solid South and winning several swing states with razor-thin margins. Wilson won California by just 3,773 votes; had he lost California, he would have lost the election. Allan L. Benson of the Socialist Party and Frank Hanly of the Prohibition Party each finished with greater than 1% of the popular vote.

Wilson was the only sitting Democratic president to win re-election between 1832 and 1936.
Wilson was re-nominated without opposition at the 1916 Democratic National Convention. The 1916 Republican National Convention chose Hughes as a compromise between the conservative and progressive wings of the party. Hughes defeated John W. Weeks, Elihu Root, and several other candidates on the third ballot of the convention, becoming the only Supreme Court Justice to serve as a major party's presidential nominee. While conservative and progressive Republicans had been divided in the 1912 election between the candidacies of then-incumbent President William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt, they largely united around Hughes in his bid to oust Wilson.
The election took place during the time of the Mexican Revolution and World War I. Although officially neutral in the European conflict, public opinion in the United States leaned towards the Allied forces headed by Great Britain and France against the German Empire and Austria-Hungary, due in large measure to the harsh treatment of civilians by the German Army in Belgium and northern France and the militaristic character of the German and Austrian monarchies, but in spite of their sympathy with the Allied forces most American voters wanted to avoid involvement in the war and preferred to continue a policy of neutrality. Wilson's campaign used the popular slogans "He kept us out of war" and "America First" to appeal to those voters who wanted to avoid a war in Europe or with Mexico. Hughes criticized Wilson for not taking the "necessary preparations" to face a conflict, which only served to strengthen Wilson's image as an anti-war candidate. Ironically, the United States would enter the war in April 1917, one month after Wilson's inauguration as president.
After a hard-fought contest, Wilson defeated Hughes by nearly 600,000 votes in the popular vote. The 1916 election saw an increase in Wilson's popular vote from the four-way election of 1912, but a major decline in the number of electoral votes won. Wilson secured a narrow majority in the Electoral College by sweeping the Solid South and winning several swing states with razor-thin margins. Wilson won California by just 3,773 votes; had he lost California, he would have lost the election. Allan L. Benson of the Socialist Party and Frank Hanly of the Prohibition Party each finished with greater than 1% of the popular vote.

------
Description: The 1916 United States presidential election in New Jersey took place on November 7, 1916. All contemporary 48 states were part of the 1916 United States presidential election. New Jersey voters chose 14 electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president. New Jersey was won by the Republican nominees, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes of New York and his running mate, former Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana. Hughes and Fairbanks defeated the Democratic nominees, incumbent President Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and his running mate incumbent Vice President Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana. Hughes carried New Jersey decisively with 54.40% of the vote to Wilson's 42.68%, a victory margin of 11.72%.Coming in a distant third was Socialist candidate Allan L. Benson, who took 2.10%. Like much of the Northeast, New Jersey in this era was a staunchly Republican state, having not given a majority of the vote to a Democratic presidential candidate since 1892. However, in 1912, Woodrow Wilson, then the sitting Governor of New Jersey, had won the state's electoral votes, but with a plurality of only 41% in a 3-way race against a split Republican field, with former Republican President Theodore Roosevelt running as a third party candidate against incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft. However, with the Republican base re-united behind Charles Evans Hughes in 1916, Wilson lost his home state to the GOP by a decisive 12-point margin in a head-to-head match-up, despite having served as the state's governor. On the county level map, reflecting his comfortable victory, Hughes carried 17 of the state's 21 counties, breaking 60% of the vote in 3 of them. Wilson's only significant win was urban Hudson County, while he also won the 3 rural counties in western North Jersey, Warren, Sussex, and Hunterdon, which had long been Democratic enclaves in an otherwise Republican state. Despite being Wilson's home state, New Jersey registered as the second most Republican state in the nation in terms of vote share after Vermont and the fourth most Republican state in the nation in terms of margin, the state being about 15% more Republican than the national average.

United States presidential election, 1916
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
