Blazing the way for Mark Hanna
The author believes that the Nebraska Republican State Convention’s platform and endorsement of John L. Webster for Vice President is an indication of Republicans’ desire to support Senator Marcus Hanna over President Roosevelt as the presidential candidate in the upcoming election. The author argues that while Nebraska Republicans did endorse President Roosevelt, they did so only because it would not be “good politics” to align themselves against Roosevelt at this time.
