Theodore Roosevelt assures John Milliken Parker that he holds Mississippi Senator LeRoy Percy in high regard and will not mention him by name or office in any way that could be misconstrued as negative. James Kimble Vardaman is stirring up trouble in The Issue, and Roosevelt feels contempt for him. He asks Parker to assure Percy of his support.
