During the last campaign, William H. Ellis used a quote attributed to President Roosevelt during his time in the New York State Assembly, to the effect that a public official who considers his prospects in the next election before casting a vote is “an enemy to his country” and does not deserve the confidence of his constituents. Ellis learned of the quote from Louis Church, who served with Roosevelt in the Assembly and later became governor of Dakota Territory. Ellis asks Roosevelt to confirm whether he made the statement in a speech to the Assembly.
