Why Judge Smyser Should Be Re-elected
The 1904 Republican nomination of Judge Smyser for Congress in the 17th district came without effort by rivals. The convention trusted Smyser to lead a spirited campaign, and he accepted with resolve. His record in the last Congress and alignment with the Roosevelt era are argued as reasons for re election, urging voters to judge him by deeds rather than rhetoric.
