President Roosevelt will add the phrase that Lyman Abbott has suggested, but is afraid that he will have to put “opponents” in his letter as well to make his points. Roosevelt thanks Abbott for his support and “proper” attitude regarding the Outlook‘s position. Roosevelt believes that William Jennings Bryan would be a more dangerous president than Alton B. Parker, although his campaigns were more honest than Parker’s “trickery.”
