when were voters first invited to participate in the presidential nomination process?
1901
before and during his presidency, roosevelt built up a strong following within the republican party, but his re-nomination in 1904 was far from certain at the end of 1901. many expected senator mark hanna, a confidante of former president mckinley, to win the party's 1904 presidential nomination. support for hanna was especially strong among conservative businessmen who opposed many of roosevelt's policies, though hanna lacked his own national organization, and even in his home state he was opposed by influential senator joseph foraker. hanna and another prominent party leader, matthew quay of pennsylvania, both died in 1904. other potential rivals for the 1904 republican presidential nomination, including leslie shaw and charles w. fairbanks, failed to galvanize support for their candidacies. at the 1904 republican national convention, roosevelt secured his own nomination, but his preferred vice-presidential running mate, robert r. hitt, was not nominated. senator fairbanks, a favorite of conservatives, gained the vice-presidential nomination.
