A primary for the Republican presidential candidate was held in Illinois on April 9, 1912. The primary saw Taft, supported by theLorimer organization, face off against Roosevelt and Robert M. La Follette. Roosevelt defeated Taft two-to-one in the state, winning 24 of the 25 congressional districts, and therefore 56 of the delegates.[4][7] La Follette performed strongest in mining and union labor districts.[8]The New York Times attributed Roosevelt's victory in the state to anti-Lorimer sentiment, despite Taft's private dislike of SenatorWilliam Lorimer. Additionally, some of the support was attributed to anti-reciprocity sentiment held among farmers in the state.[7]
