Address by Curtis Guild Jr. on Grant Day in Des Moines, Iowa

Address by Curtis Guild Jr. on Grant Day in Des Moines, Iowa

Lieutenant Governor Guild of Massachusetts delivers a speech at an event commemorating President Ulysses S. Grant in Des Moines, Iowa. Guild reminds Iowans of their special connection to Grant, as Iowa regiments were key in his first great victory of the American Civil War, the Battle of Fort Donelson. Guild points out how Grant’s administration saw the beginnings of a lot of contemporary issues, like the fight between the gold and silver standard, the corruption of machine politics, and the ills of the spoils system. Guild does, however, defend Grant against his harshest critics, stating that Grant did punish many of the instigators of scandals like Credit Mobilier and the Whiskey ring, and that Grant’s idea to annex the Dominican Republic seems less extreme in light of recent South American upheavals.

Letter from John Carter Rose to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John Carter Rose to Theodore Roosevelt

John Carter Rose was interested in a statement that President Roosevelt said to him recently, that he was “successful in a larger portion of what [he] set out to do than any of [his] predecessors.” Rose considers all the previous presidents, and ultimately draws the comparison down to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Washington, Rose writes, made the nation, Lincoln preserved it, and Roosevelt has caused it to adapt to twentieth century conditions. He praises the various policies that Roosevelt has instituted during his term in office.

Book notes

Book notes

The “Book Notes” column features reviews of two historical novels. The Adventures of the Stalwart Companions pairs a young Theodore Roosevelt with Sherlock Holmes to solve a murder in Gilded Age New York City. Marvin R. Morrison outlines the plot of the novel in some detail and says that it “is good reading.” The Bad Lands is a western based on Roosevelt and the Marquis de Mores though neither is a character in the novel. Elizabeth E. Roosevelt provides a very brief review, says the book is not very good, and asks readers to instead read Hermann Hagedorn’s Roosevelt in the Bad Lands.

In a brief biographical sketch, the article highlights some of Taft’s accomplishments and preparations for becoming President of the United States, including his time as president of the Philippine Commission, and his tenure as Secretary of War.

A foregone conclusion

A foregone conclusion

The outcome of the New York Republican state convention, committing the state’s delegates to support Theodore Roosevelt as the party’s nominee for the presidency at the upcoming national convention, is not surprising. It confirms the party’s stated intention of two years ago. In conjunction with several other states having declared their support, Roosevelt is now the presumptive Republican candidate. What is unusual, however, is that Roosevelt is the first vice president, having succeeded to the presidency through the death of a president, to receive such unanimous support for re-election. Part of the reason for this is that Roosevelt had already been a strong candidate when he was chosen to run as vice president. Another unusual characteristic of the upcoming convention is that it is not “packed” for Roosevelt, but that his candidacy truly reflects the will of the people.
