When Theodore Roosevelt visited Newport, Rhode Island, he assumed that the local committee had made all arrangements and was handling financial matters. He was surprised to learn that the Progressive Service was supposed to be involved. Roosevelt is powerless in the matter but offers to give Daniel LeRoy Dresser’s letter to Frances Kellor.
