[Theodore R.]

Wilson won NJ in 1912; perhaps he lost it to Hughes in 1916. When Wilson became governor of NJ, the faculty of Princeton were the happiest people in the nation for a while. They could not wait to get the stiff-necked know-it-all out of the university!

He won it in 1912, but lost his own state in 1916 to Hughes - the man was amazingly unpopular with so many. He campaigned on keeping the US out of the war, which of course he did not do. Here is a fun website, if you like maps and history.
