Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Eugene Thwing
Theodore Roosevelt praises Eugene Thwing’s letter to Governor Chase S. Osborn and discusses his campaign to win the Republican nomination. Roosevelt references the presidential race fought by Woodrow Wilson and Grover Cleveland, contending that although Cleveland was a stronger candidate, Hill and Tammany won the State of New York. Roosevelt parallels this race to that of his own against Charles Francis Murphy, Thomas Taggart, and Timothy Daniel Sullivan. Roosevelt concludes by referencing his Progressive, “anti-boss” platform.
