Ward B. Short thanks the staff at The Outlook for the kind reply. However, he did not ask “where” to find Theodore Roosevelt’s views on the liquor question, but “how.” Short is certain Roosevelt has a definitive view on the issue but cannot understand why such a courageous man would so carefully guard his opinion.
