Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Benjamin Ide Wheeler

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Benjamin Ide Wheeler

President Roosevelt tells Benjamin Ide Wheeler that it is not important if the navy fleet is in the Pacific or Atlantic ocean, but rather that it keeps being built up. Roosevelt says that if he had not been able to overcome the opposition of Congress to improving the fleet, the West Coast would have “been in danger of bombardment.” Roosevelt is pleased Wheeler will continue on in San Francisco. He did not know anything about the industrial peace conference Wheeler mentioned, but will support it an any way he can. Roosevelt has asked Assistant Secretary of State Robert Bacon for a report about John W. Garrett.

Editorials from The Argonaut

Editorials from The Argonaut

A collection of editorials by Alfred H. Holman in The Argonaut covers politics and industrial topics in the San Francisco Bay area. Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz is on trial and control of mayoral power lies in the balance. Strikes affecting streetcar and telephone service are losing steam, with employers claiming that the unions are acting in bad faith. The involvement of Rudolph Spreckels and Patrick Calhoun in the prosecution of Schmitz is examined. Holman has little faith in the industrial conciliation meeting to be held in San Francisco. Holman also makes recommendations regarding fire safety and railroad management.
