The Third Political Party System: Introduction: An Era of Prosperity and Republican Dominance

William McKinley, President of the United States 4 March 1897 – 14 September January 1843 – 14 September 1901

Marcus Alonzo "Mark" Hanna President McKinley’s Campaign Chairman and Fundraiser Senator From Ohio 5 March 1897 – 15 February September 1837 – 15 February 1904

THE ACCIDENTS OF LEADERSHIP Why was there no realignment (or major political upheaval) during the Progressive Era of ? Sundquist (p. 177): "...the one [factor] that appears to have been crucial was leadership." Democrats were to remain on the Populist/Progressive Left and it appeared that the Republicans would be the semi- permanent Conservative Party. This changed with the assassination of President McKinley and the elevation of Theodore Roosevelt to the Presidency.

The Shooting of President McKinley by Leon Czolgosz on 6 September 1901

Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States 14 September 1901 – 4 March October 1858 – 6 January 1919

Teddy Roosevelt, The Trust Buster

President Theodore Roosevelt in a speech at Provincetown, Mass (20 August 1907), accused the “Trusts” of causing the financial “panic” of 1907 (The Real Panic began in October but by August the Market was down over 20%): “…but it may well be that the determination of the Government (in which, gentlemen, it will not waver), to punish certain malefactors of great wealth, has been responsible for something of the trouble; at least to the extent of having caused these men combine to bring about as much financial stress as possible, in order to

discredit the policy of the government and thereby secure a reversal of that policy, so that they may enjoy unmolested the fruits of their own evil-doing... I regard this contest as one to determine who shall rule this free country—the people through their governmental agents, or a few ruthless and domineering men whose wealth makes them peculiarly formidable because they hide behind the breastworks of corporate organization.”

John Pierpont Morgan 17 April 1837 – 31 March 1913
