Theodore Roosevelt tells William Flinn of a satisfactory conversation he had recently with Governor Hiram Johnson of California. Because of their similar platforms and goals, Roosevelt thinks it would be a “first rate move” to bring Johnson and Pennsylvania Governor Martin Grove Brumbaugh together to speak in Pennsylvania sometime next fall. Roosevelt does not want anyone to know that the suggestion came from him, though he has also sent a duplicate of this letter to newspaper editor Edwin A. Van Valkenburg of the Philadelphia paper, the North American.
