Letter from Walter H. Johnson to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Legislators--Selection and appointment, Nominations for office, Presidents--Election, United States. Congress

The electoral ticket is complete. Walter H. Johnson has urged the nomination of candidates for Congress in every district where suitable persons can be found who are willing to make the race. Unsuitable candidates must not be nominated. Johnson’s health has continued much the same for two months and his physician suggests that he lay aside some of his work, but that will not hinder Johnson from serving Roosevelt. The certainty of President Roosevelt’s election is fortunate for the country.
