William Holcombe Thomas informs Theodore Roosevelt of the discussion about Roosevelt that took place during the National Municipal League recently. Many wish for Roosevelt to lead the Republican Party again in 1912, rather than wait until 1916. There is also a desire for an international committee regarding the Russian government, which would include France, Germany, and Roosevelt as one representative of the United States.
