Telegram from Sims Ely to Theodore Roosevelt
Sims Ely informs Theodore Roosevelt the Democratic papers in Arizona misrepresented Roosevelt’s speech in Pueblo, Colorado, as an endorsement of the initiative, referendum, and recall. These issues are part of the Democratic campaign for the Arizona constitution and are opposed by the Republican party, which supports direct primaries and senatorial elections. Ely asks Roosevelt for a statement clarifying these issues.
