H. Slade writes to President Roosevelt, stating that he heard some time ago from a “prominent Eastern politician” that Wall Street and the trusts were using Senators Marcus Alonzo Hanna and Nelson W. Aldrich to defeat Roosevelt in the election of 1904. Slade would like to write such in a letter to The New York World, in response to an editorial cartoon they published which seems to bear this out, and he asks Roosevelt’s advice.
