Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Cabot Lodge

Theodore Roosevelt is sorry that Henry Cabot Lodge had trouble with his tooth. Roosevelt feels that the heavy work of the campaign has been accomplished by three years of work as president. Roosevelt is not comfortable with the Wisconsin situation and thinks it is not fair to the national Republican Party to choose now to leave Robert M. La Follette. Roosevelt is also concerned with the closeness of the vote in New York.

Cox’s Laughing Gas – Mild & Harmless,” as two arms labeled “Senate” and “House Representatives” reach toward him. One hand holds a pair of pliers labeled “Heroic Measures.” Caption: Uncle Sam – “I suppose I’ve got to have the derned thing out – only, pull it easy!”
