1904 tactics
The Democrats, showcasing themselves as the "sane and safe choice," attacked the Roosevelt administration as "spasmodic, erratic, sensational, spectacular, and arbitrary." Republicans sold Roosevelt's record in foreign policy and promised more of it. Over the summer of 1904, Roosevelt directed the campaign from his front porch at Oyster Bay, issuing statements to his supporters and instructions on strategy to Republican state parties.
