President Roosevelt tells Harriet Taylor Upton that he will not speak about women’s suffrage in his Annual Message to Congress. He explains that although he supports women’s suffrage, he does not feel that it is an important matter that should be addressed at present. He believes that women’s suffrage will be achieved when the majority of women strongly support it.
