Horace G. Knowles has been wanting to write to Theodore Roosevelt for a long time, and has now finally gotten the chance. Knowles has just returned from a trip around North America, and tells Roosevelt that he enjoyed his article, “Race Decadence.” Knowles also is concerned about the headway the Democratic Party is making in the elections, and hopes that Roosevelt is paying attention and is ready to fight for Republican success. Knowles will speak with Roosevelt about these matters in person soon.
