Theodore Roosevelt writes to George L. Record that he read the piece and has sympathy for what Record wrote but takes issue with some of the proposal. Roosevelt recommends that Record read what Richard Ely wrote in his last two volumes about corporations, public utilities, the Georgia Legislature, and other topics. Roosevelt thinks it is “quite hopeless to try to launch any program of this kind at present.” Roosevelt asks if Record can visit next Thursday morning at the Progressive Party Headquarters in New York to speak further on the matter.
