Letter from William Dudley Foulke to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Middle West, Press and politics--Public opinion, Speeches, addresses, etc., Union League Club of Chicago

William Dudley Foulke recently gave a speech condemning libel in the press. Foulke shares that people respond enthusiastically to President Roosevelt’s name in the middle west. Uncharacteristically, according to his own perceptions of their correspondence, he commends Roosevelt for an excellent run as president rather than sharing distressing news.
