Click on image to zoom in
President Roosevelt appreciates Governor Cummins’s letter encouraging him to run for president again, but does not agree that it is necessary. While he agrees with Cummins on the current crisis in the Republican party, Roosevelt believes that the party should fight against selfish interests from men who want to use the government for personal gain. The fights within the party should be about policies and principles, rather than on nominating any particular man.
