Representative Norris encloses a copy of a bill regarding presidential primaries and a copy of a statement he gave after introducing the bill. The bill is in response to the “disgraceful events” that occurred in Chicago, most likely referring to the renomination of President Taft at the 1912 Republican National Convention. Norris hopes that Theodore Roosevelt will use his influence to help pass the bill.
