Who said of himself, in 1912, "No one candidate was ever elected ex-president by such a large majority" (4)

I believe the answer is:

taft

(Other definitions for taft that I've seen before include "US president, 1909-13" , "27th President of the United States" , "27th US president, William" , "former President" , "US President before Wilson" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
