Robert B. Roosevelt was glad to hear from Hallock. Roosevelt has always been a Democrat, but William Jennings Bryan’s populist antics forced him to support William McKinley in the past, and Bryan has become crazier since then. He also considers Theodore Roosevelt to be “half a Democrat,” and thinks Roosevelt will help keep the administration in line.
