Letter from William Allen White to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William Allen White to Theodore Roosevelt

William Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette, expresses his hurt at President Roosevelt criticizing him to Kansas Representatives Philip Pitt Campbell and Charles F. Scott for supporting Senator Robert M. La Follette. Roosevelt’s criticism was based on White’s having invited La Follette to Kansas to fight the railroad interests and the senatorial candidacy of Charles Curtis. White likens the situation to that of Roosevelt working with Tammany Hall operative Patrick Divver and with Pennsylvania Senator Matthew Stanley Quay. In each case, White notes, Roosevelt was working to achieve a good end, while differing greatly with the other person on politics. White asks Roosevelt to withhold judging him for working with La Follette and to not become directly involved with the political fight in Kansas.

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

William H. Taft encloses a letter that is being sent out widely by General Solicitor of the Burlington Railroad James Blythe. Taft discusses the stops on his trip and writes that, based on the reception thus far, he feels the campaign will be a success even if there are still worries about the labor vote. Support for William Jennings Bryan appears to be waning after President Roosevelt’s swift attack. Taft has written to Treasurer of the Republican National Committee George Rumsey Sheldon about avoiding contributions from trust affiliates and instead soliciting businessmen across the country. The election is four weeks away, and Taft is anxious for the speeches and events that precede it.
