Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Thomas F. Woodlock

Subject(s): American newspapers, Editorials, Presidents--Nomination, Speeches, addresses, etc., American

President Roosevelt tells Thomas F. Woodlock of the Wall Street Journal that Woodlock is one of the few people whose criticism he heeds. Roosevelt was surprised by Woodlock’s critical editorial about Roosevelt’s July 26 speech accepting the Republican Party’s nomination for the 1904 presidential election, especially considering Roosevelt believes the speech reflected a previous discussion between himself and Woodlock. Roosevelt invites Woodlock to meet with him in the next week to discuss the wording of his official acceptance letter.
