Abstract:

Woodrow Wilson's 1912 run for Democratic presidential nomination gained a great deal of support from Southern Progressives. Wilson gained support in the state from such prominent men as Josephus Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, and with public appearances such as a commencement address to the University of North Carolina. Largely due to Daniels' support and that of other progressives Wilson won all 24 North Carolina votes which help strengthen his national campaign.
