The
1904 Republican National Convention
was held in the
Chicago Coliseum
, Chicago Illinois
on June 21 to June 23, 1904. The
Presidential nominee was Theodore Roosevelt of New York and the Vice presidential nominee was Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana.
Roosevelt was nominated by 994 votes to none, while the only other serious opponent to Roosevelt, Indiana Senator Charles W, Fairbanks
, was nominated for Vice president
by acclaimation.
The 1904 Republican platform favored the protective tariff, increased foreign trade, the gold standard, expansion of the Merchant Marine and strengthening of the United States Navy; it also praised Roosevelt's foreign and domestic policies.
There were significantly fewer speakers at the 1904 convention than there are at a typical convention today. This is because the convention at the time was much lower in viewership (as there were not the mass media devices of TV or radio at this time only those actually invited saw it). Also, this was before the primary era so the delegates were expected to nominate the candidate at the actual convention as well as more typical tasks such as electing the chairman and handling other business which varies in importance at the Republican Convention today.
