Lyman Abbott discusses President Roosevelt’s letter of acceptance. Abbott hesitantly offers two suggestions to improve Roosevelt’s letter of acceptance. He would like President Roosevelt to be re-elected, noting that the Democratic Party does not have any clearly defined principles. However, Abbott does not plan to directly support the Republican Party in The Outlook, since he believes a nonpartisan attitude is more appropriate for the periodical and that this strategy will be more effective for influencing voters.
