Through Leslie W. Seylar, Theodore Roosevelt thanks everyone who attended the Roosevelt Club of Fulton County’s special meeting on June 5, 1912, and passed the resolution. He comments that now nothing will prevent his presidential nomination except his opponents’ crookedness and that, because the “plain” have won, they will not rest while the “bosses” steal their victory. Roosevelt hopes that similar resolutions will pass across the United States and that the plain people will become aroused against the actions of Roosevelt’s opponents and “certain” members of the National Committee.
