Letter from William D. Washburn to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Loeb, William, 1866-1937, Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ), Tariff

William D. Washburn was disappointed to have received a response from President Roosevelt’s secretary in response to a previous letter. Washburn had expressed concern that the issue of tariff reform is not going to be a campaign issue. He would appreciate Roosevelt’s thoughts on the matter, as he fears that many Republicans do not understand the situation and the danger it may present for the party.
