William T. O’Neil encourages Theodore Roosevelt to remain true to himself and his ideas as he campaigns for the Governorship of New York. O’Neil believes Roosevelt is one of the unique people who are able to “win the world” through their originality. The people who have come to see Roosevelt do so because of who he is and what he stands for, and approve of how he is conducting himself. O’Neil hopes he will not change himself unduly to fit the advice of advisors, regardless of how well-meaning the advice is.
