While traveling, Jessie A. Price visited with a socialist family from Ohio who commented that the socialists in the state are fond of Theodore Roosevelt and were prepared to follow his advice during his visit. However, Roosevelt’s strong criticism of “the evils of socialism” caused them to “thr[o]w their votes away recklessly.” Price suggests Roosevelt reach out and “heal the breach” by commending socialism’s high ideals.
