Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary comments that while H. C. Jackson’s question about state governments is seemingly simple, it can only be discussed comparatively. He sends Roosevelt’s recent article about Wisconsin, which he believes is the best-governed state. He also suggests Jackson read Roosevelt’s speeches for additional information.
