Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Maud Nathan
President Roosevelt praises the work of Maud Nathan, President of the Consumers’ League, and tells her he is interested in both her efforts to improve the conditions of girls working in shops and combat “the evils of child labor.” He prefers for state governments to deal with these problems, but he will have the national government interfere if necessary.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Maud Nathan
Theodore Roosevelt has always liked Maud Nathan’s commonsense. However, her surprise over Roosevelt’s unwillingness to make a public statement on equal suffrage during his speech shows her lack of that trait. It was “nonsense” to address the subject of equal suffrage or any other topic requested of him, especially as he has publicly expressed his opinion on many issues. He chastises her accuse of him “lacking the courage of my convictions” when such topics were irrelevant to his speech.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Maud Nathan
President Roosevelt explains that he cannot get into controversies regarding what people say they “remember” his positions to have been, and that his positions on all matters are public. Any assertion that he privately abandoned particular legislation after publicly supporting it is inaccurate.

President Roosevelt thanks Maud Nathan for her support and says that the “Hilquit type” of inciter gives the “reactionary type” its strength, while the extreme reactionary gives strength to the “anarchist agitator of the Hilquit type.”
