Prosperity and Expansion Key Campaign Theme by Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt writes from Oyster Bay accepting the Republican nomination for Vice President. He argues McKinley’s tariff and finance policy created prosperity, warns against free coinage of silver, and defends expansion including the Philippines. He compares expansion to past U S growth and stresses merit-based administration in newly acquired territories.
