Governor Willson of Kentucky praises the speech President Roosevelt recently gave at the Abraham Lincoln celebration in Kentucky, and relates the enthusiasm that Kentuckians have for Roosevelt. Willson regrets that he did not get a chance to present Andrew Cowan, his wife Anna G. Cowan, and Emilie Todd Helm, half-sister of Mary Todd Lincoln, to Roosevelt. Willson and his wife Mary are coming to the inauguration, and will stay with Associate Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan a few days beforehand.
