Judge Lindsey asks that President Roosevelt read the enclosed article written by former Denver District Court Judge Thomas B. Stuart on Big Bill Haywood’s trial. Lindsey describes the situation between himself and Governor Henry Augustus Buchtel and clarifies his statements regarding Senator Simon Guggenheim. Based on his knowledge of those involved, Lindsey feels that the Republican Party in Colorado is controlled by corporate interests and is largely against Roosevelt’s policies. In response, Lindsey asks if he can send Roosevelt a political pamphlet on the topic, and if they could meet in person in November to discuss matters.
