S. B. M. Young updates President Roosevelt on his recent travels, which has included spending significant time at the extremely impressive Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis, Missouri. Young believes, from what he has gathered during his travels, that Roosevelt will easily win the presidential contest against Democratic candidate Alton B. Parker. Young will be traveling to Hot Springs, Arkansas, as well as Texas later this year, but hopes to be able to visit Roosevelt around Christmas. He recalls when Roosevelt was forced into the Vice Presidency, and that he always believed that Roosevelt would be “the exception to the fate of all former VP’s.”
