President Roosevelt agrees with Seth Low’s view on the situation in New York. Roosevelt thinks it is curious that the “gold Democratic papers” in Chicago and Massachusetts are of a different opinion about Alton B. Parker’s actions than those in New York, which are “fairly hysterical” and ignore the Democratic Party’s attitude on the matter. Roosevelt is glad Low wrote to Elihu Root but doubts it will have any effect (probably in convincing Root to run for governor of New York).
