Letter from Francis C. Travers to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Francis C. Travers to Theodore Roosevelt

Francis C. Travers writes to President Roosevelt comparing the revolution and unrest in Russia with the coal strike with which Roosevelt had to deal. Travers praises Roosevelt’s handling of the affair, but also says that he must also be willing to handle the trusts. Roosevelt has always been the champion of all the people, and his victory in the election of 1904 showed their confidence in him. Travers is afraid the trouble in Russia might spread in Europe.

Montagu White met with Governor Roosevelt and found him to be sympathetic to the Boers. However, Roosevelt did not think he would have an opportunity to assist those who are working for peace and conciliation.
