Letter from Lyman Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Lyman Abbott to Theodore Roosevelt

Lyman Abbott was interested in President Roosevelt’s letter about the attempt to “stir up religious animosity” against president-elect William H. Taft. Abbott had also decided not to dignify the issue by referring it until after the election, when he wanted to write an editorial on it. He had planned on taking a vacation, so he handed the matter over to an associate. He encloses a passage from Woodrow Wilson’s lectures about the Constitution. He discusses when he and his daughter will arrive in Washington, D.C.

Frederic Jesup Stimson gave a lecture at the Lowell Institute about the enumerated powers of the Executive and Legislative branches in the Constitution. Stimson argues that these powers were given to the President and Congress not to interfere with interstate commerce, but to prevent the various states from doing so. By altering the interpretation of the word “commerce” in the Constitution to include all manufacturers doing business in more than one state, President Roosevelt would radically alter the Constitution. This would insert the federal government into transactions the Constitution did not intend.
