Charles E. Wortham reintroduces himself to Theodore Roosevelt, having previously worked for Roosevelt when he was governor. He believes it is Roosevelt’s duty to the country and his friends, especially those in the South, to allow his name to go before the National Convention. While President William H. Taft is a good man, he cannot carry the Republican Party to victory.
