Reason for Stoddard candidacy rejection in Milwaukees
A Milwaukee paper refuses to back T B Stoddard for Congress citing LaCrosse Democrat support for the President’s proclamations and Carpenter’s views on unlimited wartime power. It condemns the Proclamation and warns Stoddard aligns with those positions, while opposing Brown who endorses them. The note frames Loyal Men of Walworth questioning the candidate’s fitness. It also references Washington and McClellan amid party dissatisfaction and delays.
