Alton B. Parker Campaign Button, 1904
Add to SetSummary
The Democrats nominated New Yorker Alton B. Parker for president in 1904. Parker never distinguished his political views from those of his Republican opponent during the campaign. This did not bode well for the virtually unknown Democratic candidate. Parker and his running mate, Henry Davis, lost to Theodore Roosevelt, the popular and energetic incumbent.
