Sam P. Davis acknowledges the recent letter from William Loeb stating that President Roosevelt would be unable to attend the unveiling of a statue of John William Mackay. He had not mentioned the prospective invitation to anyone, so there will not be any criticism of his inability to attend. Davis says that someday when Roosevelt is out of the White House, he and Governor Sparks of Nevada will try to give him a chance to hunt grizzly bears. Many people in Nevada commend Roosevelt’s stance on the Moyer, Haywood, and Pettibone cases, and Davis says that they have recently been having trouble with the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), who sympathize with the three men. Davis encloses newspaper articles giving an idea of the situation in Nevada.
