Herbert C. Chivers is running for Mayor of Greater Oakland, and invites Theodore Roosevelt to visit him some evening. He believes he can offer “both a restful and agreeable evening,” which he feels Roosevelt might appreciate in the midst of a busy trip. Chivers is willing to arrange a larger dinner if would prefer that. He notes that he is just entering politics and wants to run an election free of affiliation.
