Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary requests that Oscar K. Davis send him copies of the Progressive platform, Governor Johnson’s record in California, and Woodrow Wilson’s record. The secretary also requests Davis re-schedule Roosevelt’s meeting with the moving picture man, and to arrange all of Roosevelt’s public meetings in halls rather than outdoors.
