L. E. Minot asks for Theodore Roosevelt’s support for the creation of a stock market surrounding the buying and selling of meat. Minot proposes a plan that involves securing agreements with cattle ranchers and other suppliers, as well as establishing suitable stock yards and packing houses. The goal is for this stock exchange to impact the entire country, and give rural districts access to farther markets. In addition to Roosevelt, Minot has sent this proposal to many leading figures such as the Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson and politicians such as Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings Bryan.
