Letter from Murat Halstead to Theodore Roosevelt

Murat Halstead urges Governor Roosevelt to accept the probable nomination for the vice presidency as a vehicle to run for the office of president in the future, pointing out that Daniel Webster missed being president twice by refusing to accept a nomination as vice president for William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor. Halstead thinks that Roosevelt should spend the next four years as vice president while working on his writing career and then run for president.
