REASONS OR MOTIVES for the raising of a PUBLIC STOCK to be employed for the peopling and discovering of such
countries as may be found most convenient for the supply
of those defects which this Realm of England most
requires...
Where colonies are founded for a public-[welfare), they
may continue in better obedience and become more
industrious than where private men are absolute backers
of a voyage. Men of better behavior and quality will engage
themselves in a public service, which carries more
reputation with it, than a private, which is for the most part
ignominious in the end, because it is presumed to aim at a
profit and is subject to rivalry, fraud, and envy, and when it
is at the greatest height of fortune can hardly be tolerated
because of the jealousy of the state.

                the united states presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on tuesday, november 5, 1912. the election was a rare four-way contest.

                incumbent president william howard taft was renominated by the republican party with the support of its conservative wing. after former president theodore roosevelt failed to receive the republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the progressive party (nicknamed the "bull moose party"). it nominated roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. democrat woodrow wilson was finally nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, to the support of william jennings bryan, the three-time democratic presidential candidate who still had a large and loyal following in 1912. eugene v. debs, running for a fourth time, was the nominee of the socialist party of america.

                wilson won the election, gaining a large majority in the electoral college and winning 42% of the popular vote, while roosevelt won 27%, taft 23% and debs 6%. wilson became the only elected president from the democratic party between 1892 and 1932, and the second of only two democrats to be elected president between 1860 and 1932. this was the last election in which a candidate who was not a republican or democrat came second in either the popular vote or the electoral college, and the first election in which all 48 states of the contiguous united states participated.

hope this !
