Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John M. Grainey

Subject(s): American newspapers, Heralds (Advertisements)

President Roosevelt wonders who is behind the newspaper advertisement that John M. Grainey enclosed, noting that it appears in all the papers. He believes the people behind it are financed by corporations who are retaliating against Roosevelt because they cannot make him abandon his “determination to enforce the law against the wealthy malefactor” as he enforces it “against his poorer brother.”
