Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Wolcott Wadsworth

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Wolcott Wadsworth

President Roosevelt congratulates newly-elected Speaker of the New York Assembly James Wolcott Wadsworth on his victory. He offers Wadsworth “platitudinous” advice to try to make the Republican party useful to the public and the State by acting according to high ideals, and also to act without thinking of his own political advancement. Roosevelt also advises Wadsworth to show his appreciation to fellow Assemblymen James T. Rogers and Sherman Moreland, who “behaved very squarely” on Wadsworth’s behalf.
