William Allen White thanks President Roosevelt for introducing him to several different politicians, particularly Joe Harris. White states Harris is a good man, but is fixated on Mr. Kerns and his belief that his friend, William Warner, is now working with Kerns. White complains that Senator Hanna has treated Missouri like a southern state which is preventing the Republican Party from winning in Missouri. He suggests that local control of federal patronage should be established.
