Theodore Roosevelt objects to Senator Kenyon’s statement that the Progressives hope to usurp the Republican party power from Senator Kenyon in favor of William Barnes, Winthrop Murray Crane, and Boies Penrose. Roosevelt contends that neither Albert Baird Cummins nor Herbert S. Hadley could have won the Republican nomination over President Taft. Roosevelt also negates Cummins’s comments about Roosevelt’s hope to win the Republican nomination himself.
