Letter from Joseph Very Quarles to Theodore Roosevelt

Joseph Very Quarles writes to President Roosevelt regarding the contentious Wisconsin Republican Convention. Quarles assures Roosevelt that he will “get every Republican vote in the party” despite a factional split led by Congressman Robert M. La Follette that occurred during the convention. Quarles hopes that Roosevelt will use his influence to ensure that the Republican National Convention will recognize his faction’s delegates.

“Come in, boys, warm up, and have a little Christmas cheer!”

“Come in, boys, warm up, and have a little Christmas cheer!”

Columbia welcomes a group of ragged politicians, mostly Democrats, some no longer in office, and newspaper editors, to come in from the cold winter night and warm themselves by the fire and enjoy some “Christmas Cheer” from a large punch bowl, with the many recently elected Republican legislators, mayors, and governors. All are identified by name, except William B. Allison: “Morton, Goff, Strong, Harrison, Dayton, McKinley, McIntyre, Marvil, Upham, Coffin, Reed, Depew, C. A. Dana, D. B. Hill, Springer, Wilson, Bland, Smyth, Grant, Bynum, Waite, [and] McPherson.”
