Theodore Roosevelt is glad that William S. Bennet was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Roosevelt suggests Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri as an “alternative string to the Presidential bow.” Roosevelt thinks a dark horse may have to be sprung, and that Congressman Longworth may want to turn to the west. Roosevelt wishes the Republicans will nominate a man whom the Progressives can and will support.
