Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Conrad Kohrs
In response to Conrad Kohrs’ letter regarding William H. Taft as a presidential candidate, President Roosevelt attests to Taft’s ability. Roosevelt thoroughly discusses what characterizes the leader of a healthy progressive movement and how Taft’s record demonstrates his embodiment of these characteristics. Simply put, the two qualities that made Taft a great judge–wisdom and moral courage–are the same qualities of a great president.
