Theodore Roosevelt opposes the Aldrich proposition. He is puzzled that Elisha Ely Garrison and Victor Morawetz oppose it with strong arguments yet contend that each other is wrong. Despite Garrison’s suggestion, Roosevelt is unwilling to lead the fight against the Aldrich Bill as he is less knowledgeable about currency issues and the tariff than about the military and corporate regulation, among other things.
