Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Clay Hansbrough

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Clay Hansbrough

President Roosevelt is distressed at how Representative Burleigh F. Spalding interpreted his statements. What Roosevelt feels and what he is willing to express for quotation regarding the action of the Republican National Convention are different.

Roosevelt’s view on the tariff can be ascertained by a meeting with Winthrop Murray Crane or Elihu Root.
