Letter from Lyman Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Lyman Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Lyman Abbott, Editor in Chief of the Outlook, tells Governor Roosevelt that he feels that journalists should be even-handed in their treatment of everyone, and hopes that his magazine’s general praise of Roosevelt will be the more valuable for it. He is glad Roosevelt has refused the nomination to the Vice-Presidency, as he is sure to be elected as Governor of New York for another term, and will be ideal for the position of Governor of the Philippines when it becomes available. He is always glad to speak with Roosevelt on any issue.

Halstead thinks that Roosevelt should spend the next four years as vice president while working on his writing career and then run for president.

Frederick William Holls asked two things of Governor Roosevelt. First, he wants Roosevelt to attend a lunch in honor of Lord Pauncefote at Columbia University. Second, to meet him privately to discuss the upcoming party convention in Philadelphia and the nomination process. Several names have been presented and Holls thinks that although John Long is the best candidate, he would lose Maryland for the Republicans, and repel Germans because of his views on temperance.
