Letter from Jonathan Bourne to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Jonathan Bourne to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Bourne of Oregon forwards several letters to President Roosevelt that reflect public sentiment regarding the upcoming presidential election. Only one letter refers to the prospects of Secretary of War Taft, but even that one supports a second elective term for Roosevelt. In Colorado, business sentiment is against Roosevelt because of his policies regarding public lands. Bourne will dictate his thoughts to John W. Foster and will be advised of the president’s thoughts via the same.
