Harry W. Walker tells William Jennings Bryan that many of Bryan’s former partisans are going over to Theodore Roosevelt. Walker is surprised at the level of enthusiasm for Roosevelt, which reminds Walker of “a Methodist camp meeting.” Among those declaring for Roosevelt are Walker’s son and his brother, Rev. Ralph J. Walker, pastor of St. Simeon’s Episcopal Church in New York.
