President Roosevelt worries that he may have lost Colorado because they abandoned their own principles in response to lawlessness on the other side. It would help if they could get Henry R. Wolcott to stand straight for the ticket, and Roosevelt asks Secretary of the Navy Morton if he thinks anyone in the Colorado fuel industry might be able to influence Wolcott.
