Letter from Theodore E. Burton to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Theodore E. Burton to Theodore Roosevelt

Representative Burton apprises President Roosevelt of a rise in progressive sentiment in Ohio that is being hampered by the coercive efforts of federal office holders to re-elect Senators Joseph Benson Foraker and Charles Dick. Those endorsing the senators give the impression that they have Roosevelt’s support. They have attempted to strong-arm county officials into obtaining delegates friendly to Dick, an action that drew at least one official’s resignation in protest. Burton entreats Roosevelt to make a public statement that he does not back one faction over the other, a neutral stance also adopted by Governor Andrew L. Harris.
