Politics from 1900-1910

By Josh King and Luke Doctor

Presidents from 1900-1910

William McKinley was president at the turn of the 20th century. In 1901 he was shot in Buffalo, New York by anarchist Leon Czolgosz. He laid in the hospital for eight more days and then passed away on September 14, 1901.

While campaigning in 1912 he was shot before he was about to give a speech in Wisconsin. The bullet passed though the 50 page speech he was carrying and got lodged in his chest. He said because he wasn't coughing blood the bullet must not have hit his lungs, he went on to give a 90 minute speech while bleeding through his jacket.

in 1909 Roosevelt was succeeded by William Howard Taft

The Taft campaign created "Billy Possum" as a character to represent William Howard Taft, where as Roosevelt had the reputation of being the "Teddy bear". Although somehow the "possum" was never as popular as the "teddy bear".

other political happenings of the U.S. from 1900-1910

In 1906, U.S. President Teddy Roosevelt tried to get the government to simplify the spelling of 300 common English words. However, this didn't go over well with Congress or the public.

In 1907, Ten Rules of War were Established at the Second Hague Peace Conference

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded on February 12, 1909.

Political parties were a lot like they are today.

The major parties were Republican and Democrat. Some minor parties formed during this time were:

The Home Rule Party of Hawii

Socialist Party of America

Independence Party

Although none of the minor parties had a lot of influence in the elections of this time...no surprise there.
