President Roosevelt thanks John D. Kernan for his letter and informs him although he may commit other errors, “there is no danger of my failing to persevere in the conflict we now have on hand.” Roosevelt thinks that one of the “serious incidental evils of the present regime” is that subservience of metropolitan papers to moneyed interests and to demagogues.
