Spooner Campaign Speech Opens Milwaukee GOP Rally
Col. Spooner launched his campaign in Milwaukee on September 14 at West Side Turner Hall. The appeals drew a vast audience as he framed the national issue as a clash over protective tariffs, contrasting Republican protection with Democratic free trade. He cited McKinley tariff effects, sugar, tin plate, wool, and reciprocity, urged labor to back protection, and denounced free traders while praising Jeffersonian roots and international reactions.
