Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Callan O’Laughlin
Theodore Roosevelt telegraphed Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as John Callan O’Laughlin requested, but as he has already written him about the matter four times, he does not believe his telegram will make a difference. Roosevelt adds that he favors the direct election of Senators, but believes that the country, not the states, should have absolute control of the election.
