Theodore Roosevelt writes to Victor Murdock about recent statements made in newspapers that Roosevelt would “support Weeks or Root” for President, some of which cite Murdock as the source. Roosevelt dismisses this and tells Murdock that he made it clear to Senator Jonathan Bourne that he stands for the same principles that he did in 1912.
