The correct answer is:

True.

Explanation:

During the elections of 1912, William Howard Taft ran as the primary candidate of the Republican Party, after being named Roosevelt's successor but since he was not as progressive as Theodore Roosevelt, many members of the party didn't agree with the politics of Taft and backed up Roosevelt to ran for office once again under the Bull Moose Party (Progressive Republican party). This split gave advantage to Woodrow Wilson to win the elections under the Democratic party.
