A Wisconsin speaker warned against a third term for Theodore Roosevelt noting dangers of Mexicanizing government and opposing incumbent dictating. Indiana Governor Handy criticized Fairbanks with a taunting Teddy remark and the Tribune called it a bad break amid Republican tensions.
Chicago dispatch reports the G O P convention rejected labor requests. AFL leaders including Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell express anger and rebellion at federal court injunctions adopted by the convention, accusing Republicans of repudiation.
