Frank Knox points out that Theodore Roosevelt’s nomination for the presidency will come “with a resistless sweep which no man can check.” He will avoid any public promotion himself for Roosevelt’s sake, however. He encloses Governor Osborn’s Mother’s Day proclamation, as it references Roosevelt’s recent Outlook editorial “Race Decadence.”
