A child of Theodore Roosevelt expresses delight at knowing where Jacky P. S. Harrison currently resides, as Harrison’s last letter revealed nothing. The young Roosevelt states that, although his father’s attempt at gaining the Republican Presidential nomination was beaten by “dishonest methods” at the Republican National Convention in Chicago, Theodore Roosevelt is forming a new national party.
