An impression has been circulating through newspapers and among the people that implies that Theodore Roosevelt and William Randolph Hearst are “practically on the same platform.” Riis is very upset that this idea seems to be gaining traction, and implores Roosevelt to speak to the people and show them that they “are being misled to their own and the country’s hurt.”
