Letter from I. K. Russell to Theodore Roosevelt
I. K. Russell sends Theodore Roosevelt various clippings alleging his involvement in a suspected corrupt bargain involving Senator Reed Smoot. Russell believes that anti-Mormon sentiments are behind stories in Pearson’s, McClure’s, and Everybody’s about Utah politics. He points out that much of the reporting in the pieces is incorrect. While Russell knows that Roosevelt cannot address various reporting mistakes, he asks about the charges that Roosevelt was involved.
