Mayor of Chicago Carter H. Harrison relates an incident regarding the mayoral election. Harrison welcomed the President to Chicago. At a luncheon during that visit, which may have been intended to bolster Republican Graeme Stewart’s bid for the office of mayor, Roosevelt and Charles Samuel Deneen, chairman of the reception committee, appeared to be rejoicing that Stewart would win. A few days later, Harrison says, he won that election, and he believes that his welcome speech to Roosevelt contributed to his victory.
