Rhodes was hard-pressed in his campaign for the Republican nomination to be senator. He was running against a Taft, his administration had run into some financial scandal, and he was pushing "law and order" issues hard, brandishing the National Guard at campus demonstrations like a new, improved version of a baton belonging to the OSU marching band.
