Letter from Whitelaw Reid to Theodore Roosevelt

Ambassador Reid updates President Roosevelt on a number of matters happening in England, including the nervous breakdown of Lord Edward Marjoribanks Tweedmouth, whose recent trouble relating to a letter from German Emperor William II was only the latest in a long string of misfortunes. He also offers insight into the English interest in the American Presidential election, and explains that he has told questioners that he believes Roosevelt will answer the call if his party ultimately nominates him against his wishes. Reid also discusses the lack of a profitable liberal newspaper in England.

Europe likes Roosevelt

George Brinton McClellan Harvey, editor of Harper’s Weekly, offers a tongue-in-cheek report on the reasons for President Roosevelt’s “universal popularity” in Europe. German Emperor William II would like to see Roosevelt serve a second elected term, as it would indicate that autocracy is still popular, provided the leader is charismatic and benevolent. England and France view the “staggering blow” dealt to the American railroad industry by Roosevelt with glee. European powers are happy to take advantage of the opportunities presented by American politics.
