Stressing the importance of primaries, TR's campaign theme became "the right of the people to rule." Though Roosevelt won about 70 percent of the delegates selected by public vote, it was not enough to overcome the power of party bosses and entrenched interests. He walked out of the convention to create the Bull Moose Party but then shocked many of his strongest supporters by excluding all black delegates from the Deep South. Let the People Rule shows how the political and social turmoil of that landmark year changed politics in ways that provide important lessons for America today. A suspenseful narrative, replete with larger-than-life personalities, and a must-read backstory for anyone concerned with the history and fate of a democracy that, at its best, aims to 'Let the People Rule.' 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Roosevelt, Theodore,|d1858-1919. 600 10 Taft, William H.|q(William Howard),|d1857-1930. 610 20 Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- )|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|xElection|y1912. 650 0 Primaries|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|xNomination|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Presidential candidates|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Political campaigns|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 Political culture|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1909-1913. 700 1 Barrett, Joe,|d1950-|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11518095?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781681680019_180.jpeg
