Theodore Roosevelt is pleased to receive the information about the Wisconsin voting results that Henry F. Cochems sent. Roosevelt then explains that he believes it was a mistake a paragraph was taken out of the plank dealing with the trust question. He condemns the Milwaukee Free Press as an “utterly unscrupulous and mendacious opponent” and attempting to cause mischief in the Progressive Party. He informs Cochems that they need to be careful regarding fighting in the Progressive Party, especially about George W. Perkins. He encloses a marked copy of his about Woodrow Wilson.
