Marshall, with 43.69% of the popular vote, against the 26th president of the United States Theodore Roosevelt (P–New York), running with governor of California Hiram Johnson, with 29.13% of the popular vote and the 27th president of the United States William Howard Taft (R–Ohio), running with Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler, with 21.74% of the popular vote.[1] This was the first time in history that a nationally-successful Democratic presidential nominee carried Nebraska, as well as only the third occasion that any Democratic nominee carried the state.
