Letter from Wayne MacVeagh to Theodore Roosevelt
Wayne MacVeagh believes President Roosevelt is making a mistake in appointing William McCoach to public office. McCoach is a representative of Quayism, which seeks private gain through public office, while Rooseveltism, in MacVeagh’s estimation, “stands for what can be done in the public interest in public office.” While MacVeagh feels strongly about this issue, he assures Roosevelt that whatever he decides, he will continue to have MacVeagh’s full support.
