1914 California gubernatorial election
The 1914 California gubernatorial election was held on November 3, 1914. Hiram Johnson was elected in 1910 as a member of the Republican Party. Dissatisfaction with the conservatism of the Taft administration led many Republicans to join former President Roosevelt's Progressive Party, with Johnson served as the Vice-Presidential candidate in the 1912 presidential election. Despite losing the general election, and winning California by less than 200 votes, Johnson was supremely popular in California. He was re-elected in 1914 as governor under the Progressive Party ticket, nearly tripling his vote from 1910 as a Republican, and was elected and reelected as Senator many times until his death in 1945.

gollark: Imaginary numbers of apples were trickier, since all the apples are imaginary, but I just made those apples especially imaginary.
gollark: Imagining negative apples, obviously.
gollark: This was a bit difficult when I learned about negative numbers but I eventually found a resolution.
gollark: This is why when I see any number, I simply imagine that many apples.
gollark: You jest, but intuitive perception of numbers is kind of weird.
