	Henderson's withdrawal from the congressional race in 1902 was due to both local and national political pressures. After President McKinley's assassination, Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901. Henderson began to be considered a conservative roadblock in an era of progressive reform. (23) He was left off a tariff conference in Washington and resented several Waterloo progressives who attacked him for his protectionist views on tariffs.
