The Wiki page for the county has Wilson winning with 39.60% to Roosevelt's 36.83%. However, the Wiki page for the 1912 election in Texas shows Kendall County being won by Roosevelt.

The Wiki page on the county itself actually provides a specific vote count - 200 for Wilson vs 186 for "Third Party" - meaning that the truth is probably that Wilson won and that the colored map on the election articles (Texas and General) is probably just a mistake, especially considering that "Third Party" in 1912 also included Debs and other non-Teddy candidates.

Then again, it is perhaps possible that the numbers given on the county article are actually a "switcheroo" and the other articles are correct; I've actually suspected for a long time that the same thing happened to Webster County, KY in 1912.
