Edward B. M. Browne informs Elihu Root that he is now an open opponent to President Roosevelt in the 1904 campaign for President. Browne insists that Roosevelt “hates the Jews” and that he can prove that Roosevelt protected Smith, Payne, and others. Browne also suggests that several of Roosevelt’s “friends” really want him to be defeated. Browne has sent letters to General James Sullivan Clarkson concerning Roosevelt, and he urges Root to phone Clarkson to see those letters, as the “campaign of 1904 may depend upon your and General Clarkson’s actions in the matter.”
