John Revelstoke Rathom informs President Roosevelt of the political corruption in Rhode Island and the misuse of Roosevelt’s name in the campaigns for re-election. Rathom reports that Indiana Senator Beveridge was so pressured to state that he was Roosevelt’s personal spokesman that at the last minute he decided not to visit Rhode Island. Rathom would not bother Roosevelt if he did not view this as a question of honor rather than politics.

John Revelstoke Rathom responds to President Roosevelt’s recent request for a statement regarding the sentiments “for and against the making of railroad rates through Governmental agency.” Rathom acknowledges his own stance in favor of the railroads but assures Roosevelt that the words presented are a true statement in regard to “a side of this great subject that I do not believe has yet been adequately presented.” Rathom highlights the circumstances surrounding the “Bacon Convention” in Chicago led by E. P. Bacon in showing that the business community, although not necessarily friends of the railroads, are largely against the principle of governmental regulation.
