Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William Kent

President Roosevelt has followed William Kent’s suggestion and asked Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte to instruct District Attorney Robert T. Devlin as Kent wishes. Roosevelt has been working to put life into the campaign and to make sure that the public sees William H. Taft’s merit.
