Woodrow Wilson Woodrow Wilson, the Democrats’ presidential nominee in 1912, speaks to an outdoor campaign rally in New York City. Note the absence of a microphone. Wilson, a former professor of political science and president of Princeton University and recently elected governor of New Jersey, gave carefully phrased, logical, and clear speeches in a somewhat professorial style that contrasted with the charisma and bombast of the Bull Moose candidate, Theodore Roosevelt.
