Theodore Roosevelt is pleased that J. B. Bishop is taking an “effective interest” in the campaign. Roosevelt is concerned that people who attack “Odellism” may vote the Democratic ticket. Congressman Heflin of Alabama also told the Washington Post “that if some Czolgosz had thrown a bomb under the table at which I sat with Booker Washington, no great harm would have been done the country!” Roosevelt clarifies his relationship with Carl Schurz, who has been opposed to him for years.
