Woodrow Wilson, running against Taft and and Roosevelt, managed to slip through and win after his two opponents split the Republican vote. Wilson's first inaugural speech emphasizes change in America; being a progressive president, he saw it fit to point out the miscues of the Industrial Era, saying that times needed to change. Namely, the "evils" of this era (namely corruption) needed to end. He details his plan for the country, in which he advocates for improved working conditions for the common men, and for more effective regulation of industry. He wants America to return to a morals- based country.
