Alton Candidates Davis Democratic Parker Vice President
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Democratic Party's presidential and vice-presidential nominees, Alton B. Parker and Henry C. Davis, during their campaign for the White House in the year 1904. Alton B. Parker, a distinguished New York lawyer and politician, is seen here with a determined and resolute expression, embodying the hope and aspirations of the Democratic Party and its supporters. His running mate, Henry C. Davis, a veteran congressman from Ohio, stands beside him, offering a warm and reassuring smile to the camera. The Democratic Party, which had been out of power since the end of Grover Cleveland's second term in 1897, was eager to regain the presidency. Parker and Davis campaigned on a platform of economic reform, promising to address the growing income inequality and corporate monopolies that were dominating American industry. They also sought to improve the lives of the working class by advocating for an eight-hour workday and the establishment of a national minimum wage. Despite their progressive platform, Parker and Davis faced a formidable opponent in the incumbent Republican President Theodore Roosevelt. The charismatic Roosevelt, who had taken office after the assassination of President McKinley in 1901, had built a reputation as a strong leader and a champion of conservation and reform. However, Parker and Davis remained undeterred, traveling extensively throughout the country to rally support and make their case to the American people. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in American political history, when two dedicated and visionary leaders sought to lead their party and their country through a period of great change and challenge. Ultimately, the election of 1904 would go to Roosevelt, but the Democratic Party would continue to press for reform and progress, paving the way for future generations of political leaders and movements.
