Letter from John Campbell to Theodore Roosevelt

The United States Supreme Court has declined to interfere with the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision which led to the ouster of Alva Adams and the seating of James Hamilton Peabody as governor of Colorado. Thus “relieved from judicial silence,” John Campbell, justice for the Colorado Supreme Court, informs President Roosevelt that the outcome was right and just. Adams had “stolen” the election, and the decision dealt a blow to corruption in elections. Campbell also comments on the support and trust in the president expressed by citizens in the West.
