Theodore Roosevelt appeals to the citizens of Idaho to not allow themselves to be disenfranchised by a recent court ruling. The Republicans are using “trickery and chicanery” against the Progressive Party because they know they cannot succeed in a fair fight. Roosevelt encourages the men and women of Idaho to write in the names of Progressive candidates.
