Letter from Samuel V. Leech to Theodore Roosevelt
Samuel V. Leech sends Theodore Roosevelt a copy of his baccalaureate address, which is “a presentation of Christ from a loftier view point than [Roosevelt’s] editorial colleague attained last week when he printed, in the Outlook, his paper on ‘The Master Builder‘.” He adds a confidential note that ex-senator Nathan Bay Scott informed him that he does not look for a Republican victory in 1912, as he does not believe that West Virginia or a number of other western states can be carried by President Taft. It is Leech’s opinion that Taft’s mistreatment of Methodist senators and the Presbyterian Gifford Pinchot will cost him thousands of votes.
