Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Albert J. Hopkins

President Roosevelt informs Senator Hopkins that if he selects a representative for the immigration commission from the Midwest, he will appoint Edgar Addison Bancroft. However, it may be more prudent to select a Californian because they experience a more direct impact from immigration. Roosevelt hopes to see Hopkins soon because they have a few matters to go over.

Letter from Herbert Knox Smith to Theodore Roosevelt

Herbert Knox Smith encloses to Theodore Roosevelt an “evolved” draft of a federal publicity and registration bill for corporations. Smith admits that the bill is “frankly a publicity bill and nothing else“, as it relies on corporations voluntarily registering, though it will do some good and will “gradually establish a sort of Federal relationship between industrial corporations and the Federal Government.”
