Theodore Roosevelt likes Reginald Wright Kauffman’s verses even more in their published form in the Metropolitan, and he also appreciated his piece in the Saturday Evening Post. Roosevelt is glad to know that Kauffman identifies as an “ex-Socialist.” Roosevelt considers himself a “near-Socialist” because there are many aspects of socialism he would like to adopt but he also considers some of what socialists advocate for to be “evil.”
