James D. Elliott describes a trip he took to Denver and the impressions he gathered of the political sentiment there as suggested by Seth Bullock. Elliott encountered many people from many walks of life and details how all were strong supporters of President Roosevelt and his re-election. Although Elliott says he personally likes Secretary of War William H. Taft, the people he met did not support him. Elliot is strongly in favor of re-electing Roosevelt in 1908. Elliot describes the “bank situation” in the West as being similar to the situation in the rest of the country, but in his town demands for currency are being met.
