Theodore Roosevelt thanks Charles J. Bonaparte for telling him about “the suits.” Roosevelt feels the same as Bonaparte about the “alliance.” Roosevelt does not “know enough of them to join.” His reluctance is heightened because “the special sponsor for [his] own State is Senator Depew.” Roosevelt did not join the Progressive League.
