Item Description
7/8" w/horizontal pin on reverse. Light wear and trivial lamination marks. Extremely Fine. The Ohio Senator is best known for his support after a 1906 Texas event in which black soldiers of the 25th United States Infantry were accused of rioting and subsequently court-martialed. Many, including Foraker who had a passion for racial justice, wanted further investigation and he got his Brownsville resolution passed in the Senate. Part of his goal was to discredit TR and Taft and to use the issue to acquire the 1908 presidential nomination.
