McKinley not Assasinated

Lets say that in 1901, President Mckinley was not Assassinated, and that he lived to serve the rest of his term. In 1904, were would that leave his vice-president, Thedore Roosevelt, who in the OTL would be running for president. Would he still be the nominee for the republicans? he was never very popular among them? And if not him, then who would go on to be president? and whow would this affect the rest of american history?
 
The assassination put Theodore Roosevelt in office. Teddy may have been too boisterous and unruly to win on his own, but as a successor, he was able to win election as an incumbent. Without Teddy and his assault on monopolies and, most important, his drive to start the Panama Canal, the century could have been significantly different had McKinley survived.

The assassination of McKinley could have had more impact on history than those of Lincoln and Kennedy combined.
 
Remembre pre WW2 the VP was the Graveyard of Politics. Where you put a politico to get him out of the limelite, and give him a nice title to go away with.

Anarchy would not have a stigmata of bomb-throwing crazies. At least not until the Spanish Civil War...
 
I've been doing some resecrh, and it looks like Charles W. Fairbanks would have ended up with the republican nomination in 1904. would he have been able to beat the democrats like roosevelt did?
 
I looked at a little bio information on Fairbanks and noticed that his family worked with the "underground railroad"- when he was quite a young kid.

Is there any sense of how progressive he was on race?
