President Roosevelt liked William Allen White’s recent article in the Saturday Evening Post because White stated so clearly the “fundamental fact of the election.” Roosevelt hopes he will be able to accomplish what the people wish and has aimed for a “square deal” for all. Although Roosevelt and White have not always agreed, the president thinks they stand for the same thing “down at bottom.”
