Andrew Carnegie expresses his admiration for Theodore Roosevelt and President Taft. He is distressed that Roosevelt and Taft are now rivals and believes that if Roosevelt had supported and cooperated with Taft in 1912 another presidential term would have awaited Roosevelt in 1916. Carnegie hopes that Roosevelt and Taft can meet and resolve their differences before history records both of them as fools.
