Theodore Roosevelt is very interested in Joseph Bucklin Bishop’s recent letter and agrees that President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary William Jennings Bryan have “created such a revulsion of feeling” that they will lose to whomever the Republicans nominate. Roosevelt feels that “any man who will stand for national defense and national honor is to be preferred to the present combination,” even Elihu Root, who Roosevelt still faults for his actions at the Republican Convention of 1912.
