October 14th, 1912
Word has just came in that Theodore Roosevelt was shot while campaigning in Milwaukee, WI. It is thought that a saloon keeper named John F. Schrank pulled the trigger. Lucky for Roosevelt the bullet hit his eyeglass case and his 50 page speech. He should recover in a timely manner.
Many are speculating the Wilson will stop campaigning during this time to make for a more even race. This may be President Taft’s chance to capitalize and make up some lost ground, especially if things turn for the worst for Roosevelt.
