Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

Theodore Roosevelt will be pleased to read Senator Lodge’s speech on the referendum and initiative but he hopes that Lodge does not treat these measures as “supremely important.” Roosevelt believes that these measures can be beneficial but also harmful, and that they have been falsely portrayed by their advocates as a “panacea for everything.” Gilson Gardner and Ray Stannard Baker have just visited Roosevelt on behalf of the La Follette campaign and requested that he publicly announce that he would refuse the presidential nomination if offered. Roosevelt does not want the nomination but refused to make a statement. He and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt will soon be celebrating their silver wedding anniversary and an article by Kermit Roosevelt will be appearing in Scribner’s Magazine.

E. L. Moriarty encloses a clipping from a Tacoma paper that quotes the Outlook on the Tacoma mayoral race. He gives an account of the race and blames enfranchised women for ousting Mayor Angelo V. Fawcett. He explains how, during Theodore Roosevelt’s visit to Tacoma, locals were gauging his support of the candidates. He and the people would welcome an official statement from Roosevelt to clear up the rumors.
