Hard, William, 1878-1962

President Roosevelt asks Lyman Abbott to look over an article by Philip Battell Stewart to consider it for publication in The Outlook. If he decides to publish it, Roosevelt asks Abbott to not use Stewart’s name, as he fears being that it could put him in danger of an assassination attempt by the Western Federation of Miners. He would like to see Abbott in Washington, D.C., sometime to discuss matters that have come up in Congress.

Lyman Abbott reviewed the documents from President Roosevelt and would like to publish the letter by Assistant Attorney General Charles Henry Robb in The Outlook. Abbott explains that The Outlook published an article by a representative of the Western Federation of Miners that expressed the miners’ position in order to present both sides of the issue. The Outlook’s staff also published an editorial expressing their opinion of the Western Federation of Miners, which closely aligns with Roosevelt’s views.
