In a speech given shortly after Theodore Roosevelt’s death, George Haven Putnam discusses his friendship with Roosevelt, and he highlights aspects of his character, leadership ability, and episodes from his political career. Putnam details Roosevelt’s role in the 1884 presidential contest, his dispute with the Postmaster General during his time as a Civil Service Commissioner, and examines the effort to secure the election of Charles Evans Hughes as Governor of New York in 1908.
A photograph of Roosevelt in 1905 appears on the first page of the speech. A listing of the members of the executive committee of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) supplements the piece along with a text box with the heading ” A Membership Honor Roll” that lists members of the TRA who have enrolled in three premium membership categories.
