James Bronson Reynolds informs William Loeb that the invitation to Daniel Keefe has been sent, but Keefe will be in Chicago Friday and Saturday. Reynolds notes that the result in Maine gives both Samuel Gompers and the Republicans “the chance to shout,” but that there is not the least feeling that the labor leaders have made a mistake. Reynolds wants to speak with Loeb regarding the “labor situation” and the “present tangle.” Reynolds believes it would be worthwhile for the Republican leaders of the American Federation of Labor to be on more intimate terms with President Roosevelt. Reynolds invites Loeb to lunch at the Century Association.

In a speech given shortly after Theodore Roosevelt’s death, George Haven Putnam discusses his friendship with Roosevelt, and he highlights aspects of his character, leadership ability, and episodes from his political career. Putnam details Roosevelt’s role in the 1884 presidential contest, his dispute with the Postmaster General during his time as a Civil Service Commissioner, and examines the effort to secure the election of Charles Evans Hughes as Governor of New York in 1908.
A photograph of Roosevelt in 1905 appears on the first page of the speech. A listing of the members of the executive committee of the Theodore Roosevelt Association (TRA) supplements the piece along with a text box with the heading ” A Membership Honor Roll” that lists members of the TRA who have enrolled in three premium membership categories.
