The 1912 Democratic National Convention was held in Baltimore from June 25 to July 2, 1912. The primary candidates were House Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri and Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey. Clark entered the contest with a majority of the delegates behind him, but without the two thirds majority necessary to secure the nomination. After a long deadlock, former Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan threw his support to Wilson, giving him the nomination on the 46th ballot.

Presidential nominee: Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
Vice Presidential nominee: Governor Thomas R. Marshall of Indiana
Convention Chairman: Representative Ollie M. James of Kentucky
Temporary Chairman and Keynote Speaker: Former Chief Judge and 1904 Presidential nominee Alton B. Parker of New York
