Letter from John Edward Charles O’Sullivan Addicks to Theodore Roosevelt
John Edward Addicks describes to President Roosevelt the behavior of a minister, Robert Arthur Elwood, whose inflammatory rhetoric has led to a lynching, for which he was censored by his presbytery. Addicks says that Elwood, in opposing Addicks’s bid for office, claims to speak for Roosevelt, and he hopes Roosevelt will make a statement disavowing such interference in a local election.
