Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Donald McDonald Dickinson

President Roosevelt thanks Donald McDonald Dickinson for the letter. Roosevelt expresses his disappointment with Judge Alton B. Parker during the recent political campaign, and says that while his personal relations with Parker have been friendly, the attacks on National Republican Committee Chairman George B. Cortelyou have made Roosevelt indignant. He feels that Parker is hypocritical for making a public show that “he was ‘advised’ that no corporations had contributed to his campaign” while personally retaining close political connections to prominent businessmen.
