Letter from N. P. Andresen to Theodore Roosevelt
N. P. Andresen agrees with President Roosevelt that Charles H. Moyer, “Big Bill” Haywood, and Eugene V. Debs are “undesirable citizens” from the perspective of capitalists. By the same token, the Roosevelts, Rockefellers, and Hearsts are undesirable from the perspective of the working class. Given that there are overwhelmingly more people in the working class than there are capitalists, Andresen says, “it ought not to be difficult for you to form a correct impression as to who really are, and who are not, desirable citizens.”
