A Mere Hunt for Office in 1904 Democratic Campaign
The speech at Cooper Union by Thomas E Watson attacks the Democratic Party as unscrupulous and leaderless in 1904. He questions the party’s platform on money and tariff, notes shifts on trust laws, and argues Republicans hold the true creed while Democrats chase votes for office. He criticizes the party for stealing platforms and for abandoning the income tax demand.
