Theodore Roosevelt thinks that Pennsylvania and New York are strange states. The bulk of working class men in Pennsylvania voted for Senator Boies Penrose, and in New York they voted for William Barnes’s candidates, “without caring for positive proof of their attitudes in such matters as the Workers’ Compensation Act and the like.”
