Theodore Roosevelt responds to letters from Gifford and Amos Pinchot advocating for the removal of George W. Perkins as a leader of the Progressive Party. He understood these letters as requesting for Perkins’s removal from the party and by extension businessmen similar to Perkins. Roosevelt disagrees with Pinchot’s view and believes that the big businessmen can have a role in the party.
