William Stanton comments that the recent election proves Theodore Roosevelt’s advanced statesmanship in efforts for reform. Had they been implemented, these reforms would have stopped Socialist ideas from spreading. Stanton calls Roosevelt’s attention to an incident concerning William Barnes’ control of Albany County and hopes Roosevelt will take an active and aggressive position on the Republican Party’s councils.
