Senator Beveridge congratulates President Roosevelt on his victory in the presidential election. He mentions he is visiting his mother, Francis Ellen Parkinson Beveridge, and that her county—and the county where he was raised—has always gone Democratic since Illinois became a state. However, in the 1904 election, it went to Roosevelt. Beveridge believes this is indicative of the entire nation, which wants Roosevelt and not necessarily the Republican Party. He knows that Roosevelt’s administration will accomplish great things and sends his regards to Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt.
