Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Edmond H. Madison

Theodore Roosevelt agrees with Representative Madison regarding the undesirability of the precedent established and was the only person to protest against it. While an ex-president is a private citizen and should appear before a Senate committee if asked, it should only be under exceptional circumstances. Roosevelt read the testimony before Madison’s committee. He thanks Hines for his treatment of George H. Earle and discusses the latter’s poor conduct.

Letter from Richard Wilson Knott to Theodore Roosevelt

In speaking of Theodore Roosevelt’s partial endorsement of the proposition that the government fix steel prices, Richard Wilson Knott had in mind Roosevelt’s previous statement after Elbert H. Gary’s testimony and subsequent article in The Outlook. However, he believes he was mistaken. He feels that there are times when the government is justified in taking charge of properties, such as the Panama Canal. Knott comments that President William H. Taft’s administration has “thrown back the cause of progressive politics in Kentucky six years.”

Letter from Edmond H. Madison to Theodore Roosevelt

Edmond H. Madison believes that Representative Thomas W. Hardwick, chairman of the special committee investigating the sugar trust, is more concerned with injuring Roosevelt’s reputation than in conducting his investigation. A recent interview of George H. Earle saw many attacks on Roosevelt which were subsequently reprinted in newspapers. Madison now worries that an upcoming interview with Milton Dwight Purdy may have the same aim, and asks Roosevelt for any information he should be aware or forewarned of for the upcoming hearing.
