Letter from Jacob A. Riis to Theodore Roosevelt
Jacob A. Riis tells President Roosevelt about his involvement in campaigning for Roosevelt. He plans to continue giving speeches as long as his throat holds out, though he mentions that it has not been in good shape this fall. A Democrat-controlled library board in Council Bluffs, Iowa, has gotten rid of books about Roosevelt out of the fear that “it might corrupt the youth of that modest town,” but Riis mentions that he will be sure to visit the town and give a speech there.
