Henry W. Taft writes in the New York Evening Post regarding the Parker Constitution Club and their desire to investigate the actions of President Roosevelt. The club is composed of lawyers who challenge the constitutionality of some of Roosevelt’s actions, but Taft does not believe they will make their investigation impartially. Taft suggests they change their name to the Parker Democratic Club in order to more accurately reflect the club’s political views.
