Scholars routinely observe that the advent of radio reshaped political speech. But for more than a decade before the first commercial radio broadcast station was inaugurated in Pittsburgh in 1920, citizens had been listening to candidate speeches. This feat was made possible by the phonograph.

I will be uploading the contents of this 100 year old collection of campaign speech audio from 1908 and 1912 in its entirety.

"In Their Own Voices: The U.S. Presidential Elections of 1908 and 1912"

Disc 1 - 1908 US Presidential Election
01 - 10 : William Jennings Bryan (Democratic Candidate)
11 - 24 : William Howard Taft (Republican Candidate)

Disc 2 - 1912 US Presidential Election
01 - 06 : Woodrow Wilson (Democratic Candidate)
07 - 15 : Theodore Roosevelt (Progressive Candidate)
16 - 22 : William Howard Taft (Republican Candidate)

  • Ty for posting these. In the past year I've been interested in audio clips from the Presidents back in the day. It feels I'm right there.
