Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph Bucklin Bishop

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Joseph Bucklin Bishop

Theodore Roosevelt is very interested in Joseph Bucklin Bishop’s recent letter and agrees that President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary William Jennings Bryan have “created such a revulsion of feeling” that they will lose to whomever the Republicans nominate. Roosevelt feels that “any man who will stand for national defense and national honor is to be preferred to the present combination,” even Elihu Root, who Roosevelt still faults for his actions at the Republican Convention of 1912.

Telegram from Theodore Roosevelt to Robert Bacon

President Roosevelt asks Acting Secretary of State Bacon if Mulai Abd al-Aziz IV, Sultan of Morocco could extradite Paul O. Stensland, who could then be taken into custody. Anticipating potential international complications, Roosevelt feels it best he be transported on a returning Army or Navy ship. Roosevelt regards Stensland as “one of the most obnoxious type of criminals” and will take any necessary measures to bring him to justice.
