Letter from John R. Grimsley to Theodore Roosevelt

John R. Grimsley shares his opinions of the presidential candidates with Theodore Roosevelt. Even though he is a Republican, he will not vote for President William H. Taft if renominated. He suggests that Roosevelt make a statement acknowledging his mistake in supporting Taft and declare his preference for Senator Robert M. La Follette. Otherwise, Roosevelt should run himself. Grimsely feels strongly that capital must be curbed, or else there will be a revolution worse than the French Revolution.
