Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edgar Aldrich

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edgar Aldrich

President Roosevelt tells Judge Aldrich that he is not sure if he can overcome the falsehoods like those printed by the Boston Post, but he will meet with a correspondent from the Boston Transcript to see if he can. Roosevelt confirms that the facts are exactly like Aldrich guessed in his letter, and details some of his thoughts and actions regarding government appointments he has been able to make. While he frequently takes the advice of senators and congressmen in selecting people to appoint to these positions, he is not bound to do so.

Letter from Winston Churchill to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Winston Churchill to Theodore Roosevelt

Winston Churchill is again writing William Loeb about the matter concerning selecting a new Pension Administrator for New Hampshire. Churchill believes that President Roosevelt’s “enemy” Senator Jacob H. Gallinger has intentionally nominated Richard W. Musgrove as a way to alienate his son Frank Abbott Musgrove, a staunch supporter of Roosevelt. Because of this conflict, Churchill suggests Charles Fairbanks as the ideal Pension Administrator and attaches a letter from Fairbanks for Loeb to forward to Roosevelt.

Safe and sane–1908

Safe and sane–1908

Proof for a newspaper article that describes political activities the year before the national party conventions, when many politicians are already active in the presidential race. Both Democrats and Republicans are already trying to shape public opinion toward conservative platforms and “safe and sane” candidates. Republicans in New York are trying to kill support for William Jennings Bryan in the South. Others are actively against a third term for President Roosevelt. Despite this activity, however, Bryan and Roosevelt remain popular, and no other political candidacy has gained much headway. The press and Senator Jonathan Bourne are advocating for another term for Roosevelt.
