Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

President Roosevelt recommends that William H. Taft meet with labor leader John Mitchell, and then based on Mitchell’s advice put out a statement outlining his policies regarding labor. Roosevelt wrote a letter to railroad trainmen that loosely stated policies he believed Taft would follow. He believes that in the final days of the campaign, Samuel Gompers will try to attack Taft on labor; Taft issuing a statement on labor beforehand could be a good strategy.
