Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt appreciates Nicholas Murray Butler’s willingness to write the unsigned article he mentioned and discusses the problems with the Argonaut article about the tariff revision. According to Roosevelt, there will be damage whether the tariff revision is tried or not, but “less serious damage” if the revision is tried. Roosevelt will not, however, break from the Republican party on the issue.
