Definición

  • WITH PRESIDENT THEODORE Roosevelt deciding to not run for a third term, William Howard Taft, Roosevelt's choice for the Republican nomination, handily defeated Democrat William Tennings Bryan, who was making his third run for the office. In 1904, the Democrats turned away from Bryan, nominating Alton Parker, a “gold bug” and conservative, as the party's standard-bearer.
