Letter from William Edgar Borah to Judson C. Welliver

Subject(s): Journalism, Phillips, Wendell, 1811-1884, Presidents--Conduct of life, Presidents--Public opinion

Senator Borah has recently read Judson C. Welliver’s article, and believes that it is the most interesting article that has been written on the subject. Borah believes, however, that Welliver will eventually modify his views regarding Theodore Roosevelt, and gives context for Roosevelt’s actions while in office. While the progressive movement has its ideals, it must not get away from also achieving practical results.
