Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. J. Jusserand

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to J. J. Jusserand

Theodore Roosevelt is much obliged to French Ambassador Jusserand for his two letters, the first one of which he has sent to John Reed. Roosevelt is familiar with Joseph Bédier’s “striking” pamphlet, and he is glad that Jusserand liked his recent article in Metropolitan. Roosevelt is not pleased about Senator Beveridge’s letters from Germany. As to what Jusserand said about Uncle Sam having no friends, Roosevelt does not believe that Uncle Sam is entitled to have friends “so long as his government representatives carry neutrality to the point of being neutral between right and wrong.”

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Dudley Foulke

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Dudley Foulke

Theodore Roosevelt agrees with William Dudley Foulke’s letter except that he believes Governor Johnson would be a “first-class President.” Roosevelt agrees that it is too early to discuss nominations or even an individual’s availability. He would consider acting with the “scoundrels” that control the Republican Party but only because the Wilson administration is handling foreign affairs and military preparedness so poorly. Roosevelt is uncomfortable with Albert J. Beveridge’s attitude towards Germany as it seems to be influenced by the idea that German Americans will have a longer memory regarding what side a politician supports. He believes that German victory or a German-Japanese alliance would lead to conflict with the United States.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles Edward Merriam

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Charles Edward Merriam

Theodore Roosevelt thanks Charles Edward Merriam for his work in the campaign and responds to Merriam’s observations about the Progressive Party. While he agrees with Merriam on social and industrial justice programs, the Progressives need to make sure not to “overpaint things” and appear insincere. He thinks the process for making the Progressive Party permanent should be by working with the rank and file of parties rather than with party bosses. Finally, while he does not believe that George W. Perkins should be called the “official and technical spokesman, the philosopher and exponent of progressive principles,” Perkins’ organizing power is a key part of the Progressive Party and their campaign.
