Springer, John Wallace, 1859-1945
Letter from John Wallace Springer to Theodore Roosevelt
John Wallace Springer discusses the election for mayor of Denver, Colorado, noting that although he was nominated by a great majority of Republican voters, the election was manipulated by the Democratic machine. After the state Republican convention adjourned, the managers of four public utility corporations insisted that an Anti-Wolcott ticket be named, and the Democratic ticket “sold out” to these corporations. Springer thought that he deserved President Roosevelt’s support and wants to know if anyone told him to keep his “hands off of this fight.” Springer points to the appointment of D. A. Barton and George Engs Randolph, who had been Republican candidates for office, to prominent positions by Democratic Mayor Robert Walter Speer as evidence that traitors were working to defeat the Republican ticket.
