Theodore Roosevelt gives George E. Miller some advice on what Miller should write about him. Roosevelt is not publicly supporting or standing against any one man, but trying to reach an entire “class of men” that it is possible to “rally to.” Roosevelt suggests that Miller write in the third person “dwell upon the fact” that in Roosevelt’s estimation, Hiram Johnson is the best man for the presidency. However, Roosevelt does not think that Johnson will be accepted by the Republicans and thus will not receive the nomination.
