Letter from Frank Putnam to Theodore Roosevelt

Before President Roosevelt gives his planned “The Man with the Muckrake” speech, Frank Putnam of National Magazine asks him to read an article which he believes demonstrates that there is genuine, widespread resentment about economic oppression throughout the country. Putnam admires Roosevelt and believes that he could play a role in the “Third Revolution,” which will free people from “industrial bondage.”
