Reform Crumbs and Disappointments From the Republican Convention
William Goodyear critiques the Republican National Convention as a hollow victory for Roosevelt and a compromise that favors old-line politicians. He notes failed reform efforts on campaign finance disclosure, railroad rate fairness, anti blacklisting, gambling restrictions, court injunction limits, and direct senatorial elections. He calls the platform disappointing and urges more decisive reform.
