Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Howard Allen Bridgman
President Roosevelt thanks Howard Allen Bridgman for his recent editorial, both because he personally enjoyed it and because he thinks it sets out important facts. Roosevelt comments that there is a danger in trying to work between the excesses of populism and demagoguery on one hand, and the real abuses and wrongs that have been committed by businesses and the wealthy on the other. Roosevelt compares the two sides to the French nobility and the leaders of the French Revolution, both of which went to very dangerous and damaging excesses.
