Letter from Howard F. Lea to Theodore Roosevelt

Howard F. Lea strongly believes that Theodore Roosevelt is the best candidate for President and urges him to enter his name. Lea has felt the sentiment across the country and across party lines that Roosevelt is the best candidate for the position. Lea does not believe that Robert M. La Follette or William H. Taft will be elected if their names are on the ballot, and believes that Taft would do better on the Supreme Court. Lea reminds Roosevelt that Lea’s own political future is tied to Roosevelt’s since he will not run for Congress if Roosevelt is not in office.
