Roosevelt Attacked in House Over Roosevelf Nomination
Representative Bartholdi of Missouri attacked Roosevelt in a House speech defending Tufts nomination. He argued the Chicago convention showed Roosevelt’s republican heart had departed and warned the new party may be born as a lie. A southern Democrat as Roosevelt’s running mate was discussed as a possibility. Nebraska Republicans split at two conventions, Missouri organized a Progressive party, and Minnesota’s third party leaned toward Taft with a Roosevelt majority shift for the national ticket.
