Theodore Roosevelt responds to a letter Edward H. Lum wrote to J. A. H. Hopkins, charging Roosevelt with abandoning his commitment never to forsake the Progressive Party. From Roosevelt’s viewpoint, the Progressive Party forsook him. Most Progressives returned to the Republican Party in 1914. However, Roosevelt will never forget the men and women that fought for Progressive principles. He denies deserting the Progressive Party and believes that most people, including Progressives, expect him to support the Republican presidential candidate, Charles Evans Hughes.
