The nomination of 1912 is between Taft and Robert M. La Follette, and unless there is a deadlock and the party turns to him, Roosevelt needs to stay out of the game and not make the same mistake he made in the last election.

Thomas R. Lounsbury thanks Theodore Roosevelt for writing regarding his book on Robert Browning and recent article published in Harper’s Weekly. Lounsbury believes the fervor around Browning has died out, but enjoyed a review in the North American which called Lounsbury “the apostle of lawlessness” in language. Lounsbury does not believe composition should be abolished in colleges, but does think forcing students who do not gain from it is a waste of time for the student and instructor. Lounsbury is pleasantly surprised by the letters he has received sympathizing with his opinion in his published article, something he has not experienced before.
