Letter from D. Edwin Hawley to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from D. Edwin Hawley to Theodore Roosevelt

D. Edwin Hawley shares his thoughts with Theodore Roosevelt regarding Roosevelt’s ability to be nominated for President at the Republican National Convention. Hawley has met Roosevelt before, has read everything Roosevelt has written, and has followed Roosevelt’s career from the beginning, so he feels confident in his assessment of Roosevelt’s ability to win the nomination if he remains calm and non-committal.

Speech at Roosevelt, Arizona (dedication of Roosevelt Dam)

Speech at Roosevelt, Arizona (dedication of Roosevelt Dam)

President Roosevelt addresses the crowd at the dedication of the Roosevelt Dam in Arizona and tells them about how the dam came to be. He knows the value of irrigation to the west, and through hard work, he was able to convince the east of the necessity of irrigation. Roosevelt congratulates all of the people involved with the construction of the dam and reflects on the honor of having the dam named after him. He considers the two material achievements he is most proud of in his administration to be the construction of the Panama Canal and the irrigation work in the western United States. Roosevelt also further reflects on what it means to be a citizen and the duty of Americans.
