Republican Rally in Athens County Aims for Big Turnout
The Republican campaign opened with Senator J. B. Foraker and Hon. Albert Douglas addressing large crowds in the opera house despite bad weather. Emphasizing three key goals for November 1904, Foraker urged support for Herrick, Hanna, and Roosevelt, defended ship subsidies and the Panama route, and attacked Tom L. Johnson's platform as humbuggery. Douglas spoke on municipal code improvements as a superior frame for Ohio towns and cities.
