Letter from William T. Hughes to Theodore Roosevelt

William T. Hughes sends Theodore Roosevelt a copy of his book, saying that Roosevelt’s “bold and progressive” statements about the necessity of “a government unhampered by state rights” inspired him while he was writing it. In particular, Hughes believes that unsettled laws, “a demoralizing judiciary,” and unfair taxation lead to disturbances of public peace.
