California governor Hiram Johnson was Roosevelt's running mate and probably brought the entire Republican party apparatus in line behind him.  Incidentaly in 1916 Charles Hughes refused to appear with Johnson feeling he was a traitor for running with Roosevelt.  It is often felt that this bad blood cost Hughes California and the election.
