Roosevelt Welcome Sparks Dramatic Convention Entry
Philadelphia June 19 Chairman Hanna opened the 12th Republican National Convention as 1,800 delegates filled the arena and 15,000 spectators watched. The dramatic entrance of Theodore Roosevelt, hat on, stride steady, electrified the hall and drew the crowd’s roar. Roosevelt walked to his New York delegation seat while leaders like Wolcott and Odell spoke. McKinley’s renomination loomed as the agenda, with Vice President to be decided later.
