Theodore Roosevelt feels that the gubernatorial election in California is a matter of national concern, and writes on behalf of Hiram Johnson. Roosevelt feels that Johnson’s election would mean “the most terrible possible blow against the domination of the special interests in politics, and his defeat would be hailed with joy by every man who believes in perpetuating in this country the rule of that combination of crooked politics and of crooked finance, which is above all else dangerous to the future of this Republic.” Roosevelt heartily endorses Johnson for the myriad positive policies he stands for.
