Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Elihu Root

President Roosevelt requests that Secretary of State Root address the extradition “of certain alleged political offenders” to Russia. Currently, he is not pleased with the campaign, especially with the revival of the liquor agitation. Additionally, he feels that the Republican National Committee is not well handled. Given William H. Taft’s record and personality, Roosevelt cannot understand why Taft is not more popular. He is still convinced that New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes should be renominated.

Telegram from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert Parsons

Telegram from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert Parsons

Representative Parsons is “completely in error” about his facts in the Jan Janov Pouren case. Secretary of State Elihu Root does not have the complete authority that Parsons believes, and the Commissioner is not simply an arm of the State Department. President Roosevelt believes that Parsons should have directly applied to Commissioner Samuel M. Hitchcock.
