Letter from Emerson Hough to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Emerson Hough to Theodore Roosevelt

Emerson Hough sends President Roosevelt two exhibits to give to Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw regarding the incident involving gambler Tom Powers that led to Roosevelt’s dismissal of Pat Garrett from his position as customs collector. Hough believes Roosevelt should reappoint Garrett. He also writes that gambler Billy Sims was present at a San Antonio banquet, which shows the President’s hosts failing to protect his public image.

The stampede at Chicago

The stampede at Chicago

Everybody’s Magazine prints a story by Emerson Hough depicting a conversation between two men, one of whom laments the fact that President Roosevelt is leaving the presidency just at the point at which he is beginning to challenge banks and trusts and take back the American government for the average citizen. The other man seems to secretly be Roosevelt, and, hearing the man’s wishes that he would continue the fight, appears convinced to return to Washington to work on behalf of the common person. A handwritten note says that the President will value “most all” of the piece.
