Elon Rouse Brown pledges his support to Theodore Roosevelt’s success in the upcoming Presidential election. Brown was aggrieved at Roosevelt’s nomination of John Clay Davies for Judge in Brown’s district, and the appointment of Charles P. McClelland to the Board of General Appraisers, but these appointments do not harm Brown’s interests and he continues to enthusiastically support Roosevelt.
