Letter from Mark A. Matthews to Theodore Roosevelt
Mark A. Matthews writes Theodore Roosevelt, as he is interested in many of the topics Roosevelt has recently discussed. Matthews thinks that regular people have no leader or opportunity to express themselves. He lays out five factors working against “the common people” of the United States. These include: “a certain class of national banks and their manipulators”, “public service corporations”, “the great liquor interests”, “the subsidized press and the Morgan-ized magazine”, and finally “the under-world with all of its filth, crime and debauchery.” Matthews hopes to speak with Roosevelt personally about these things.
