John Appleton Stewart has received information from a friend in publishing that many copies are already circulating of the pamphlet “The Roosevelt Panic of 1907” and Chancellor James Roscoe Day’s book The Raid on Prosperity. Large sums of money are being spent on disparaging advertising in magazines such as Business Men’s Magazine of Chicago. Stewart’s friend also left him a copy of Francis A. Adams’s book on Roosevelt, and asked for editorial advice. The New York Press refers to Stewart as a “third termer,” to which he takes exception. If he is in Washington, D.C., he would like to bring the publisher friend to speak to Roosevelt in person.

Letter from John Appleton Stewart to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John Appleton Stewart to Theodore Roosevelt

John Appleton Stewart sends President Roosevelt a copy of resolutions made at the Republican League meeting in Syracuse. The first resolution addresses the problem of partisan nomination of judges. In addition, though the delegates believe it a “public necessity” for Roosevelt to continue another four years in office, they recognize that Roosevelt does not desire to run again, and therefore resolve to support a candidate who will continue his work. Stewart notes that the farm convention was a great success, especially after he was able to dispel “wrongful suspicions” in a speech. Stewart is already planning more county conventions with Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson.
