Letter from John Appleton Stewart to Theodore Roosevelt
John Appleton Stewart sends President Roosevelt a copy of resolutions made at the Republican League meeting in Syracuse. The first resolution addresses the problem of partisan nomination of judges. In addition, though the delegates believe it a “public necessity” for Roosevelt to continue another four years in office, they recognize that Roosevelt does not desire to run again, and therefore resolve to support a candidate who will continue his work. Stewart notes that the farm convention was a great success, especially after he was able to dispel “wrongful suspicions” in a speech. Stewart is already planning more county conventions with Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson.
