Letter from John Revelstoke Rathom to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from John Revelstoke Rathom to Theodore Roosevelt

John Revelstoke Rathom informs President Roosevelt of the political corruption in Rhode Island and the misuse of Roosevelt’s name in the campaigns for re-election. Rathom reports that Indiana Senator Beveridge was so pressured to state that he was Roosevelt’s personal spokesman that at the last minute he decided not to visit Rhode Island. Rathom would not bother Roosevelt if he did not view this as a question of honor rather than politics.
