W. N. Mitchell explains why he advocated for President Roosevelt’s renomination at the Republican convention in Chicago. He discusses his Confederate roots, his connections to both of Roosevelt’s parents, and explains that he circulated a petition for his renomination in the South. Mitchell believed that Roosevelt had the best chance of delivering the South to the Republicans. He pledges now to support President-elect William H. Taft and work to elect Republicans in the next election.
