Senator Bourne shares with President Roosevelt quotes from Senator Henry Clay Hansborough’s letter discussing his support of Roosevelt. Additionally, Hansborough reports that Alexander McKenzie supports Clarence B. Little for the Senate. Bourne is “not at all surprised at the strength of the Roosevelt sentiment” and finds great pleasure in it.
