Howard Eaton has heard a rumor that President Roosevelt is postponing his African safari. If this is true, Eaton invites Roosevelt and his family to the Eaton Brothers ranch in Wolf, Wyoming, to rest after he leaves the presidency. Eaton also praises the President on his accomplishments and shares that he and others on the ranch voted for President-Elect William H. Taft, but wish they could re-elect Roosevelt.
