Letter from John C. Delaney to Theodore Roosevelt
John C. Delaney of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, compliments President Roosevelt as a politician, Republican, Christian, patriot, and man. Delaney claims that Roosevelt had the courage to “break down and scatter to the four winds of heaven the bigotry” against Catholicism in the United States. He urges Roosevelt to continue in his position, stating that no matter how great men such as William H. Taft, Elihu Root, and George B. Cortelyou are, they are of no comparison to Roosevelt. Delaney further states that Roosevelt appeals to all Americans.
