Former president Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive Party did make a strong third-party showing and may have swung the election in disfavour of the Republican ticket. Notably, although not at the time, nominee Winston Churchill (a then-famous novelist) shared name with the British First Lord of the Admiralty, then a figure of national but not substantial international notoriety.
