Letter from Judson Swift to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Judson Swift to Theodore Roosevelt
Judson Swift believes Theodore Roosevelt should let the recent incident pass, as he should be concerned with larger things. Swift specifically believes that in New York the Republican stand-patters “are riding to their fall,” and that Roosevelt is needed because the people still have faith in him. He acknowledges, however, that Roosevelt’s broader view of the situation may lead to different conclusions.
(A resolution naming Roosevelt as temporary chairman of the Republican State convention had recently been rejected by the New York Republican State Committee)
