Letter from Elihu Root to Theodore Roosevelt

Elihu Root writes to President Roosevelt from the train to Philadelphia where he is going to consult with Mayor John Weaver. Root thinks Roosevelt’s letter to Secretary of the Navy Paul Morton is “bully” and only has one or two verbal suggestions to offer. Clarence Winthrop Bowen came to visit Root and ask for “merciful treatment” for his brother, Herbert Wolcott Bowen, who is embroiled in a libel case with Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis.

Topics of the time

Richard Watson Gilder reflects on the results of the recent elections across the country, where political bosses were defeated in various cities and states. While this is a blow against political corruption, Gilder cautions against allowing demagogues to take over and lead voters to vote purely “to hit the bosses” rather than for the public good. A note in the margins questions whether William Randolph Hearst might be one of the demagogues in question.
