Dixon, Roosevelt Headquarters, Chicago, Ill. 32721June 8, 1912 Dear Senator Dixon: Herewith I am sending a letter from Congressman Hamilton Fish, who is a friend and supporter of Mr. Roosevelt's. As you will see, he is going to Chicago and he may be of some help. Is there any possibility of your being able to send him a ticket to the Convention? He certainly ought to have one if it is at all possible to supply it. Mr. Roosevelt is also anxious to know what you have been able to do regarding the tickets which he wants for certain friends and members of his family. I wish you would send me some word about this. Faithfully yours, Hon. Joseph M.

My dear Mrs Gurley-Kane: It will give me pleasure to become a member of the committee which is planning the National Memorial in honor of the Titanic dead. In giving my consent to become a member of this committee, however, I hope you will thoroughly understand that it is merely in an honorary capacity, as it is a physical impossibility for me to add in any way to the work I have on hand. It is seldom that I consent to allow my name to be used in any capacity unless I am able to take an active part in the work, but in this case I feel such a deep and profound sympathy with those who died on the Titanic, that I am very pleased to allow my name to be used in an honorary way, and only wish it were possible actively to help in the movement which you are organizing. Faithfully yours, Mrs Evelyn Gurley-Kane, The New Willard, Washington, D.C. 727June 8, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt has asked me to thank you very cordially for your letter. He particularly appreciates what you have written. As you know, there is no truth whatever in the reports that Mr. Roosevelt has taken to drinking and uses whiskey im- moderately. As a matter of fact, Mr. Roosevelt has never drunk any highball or cocktail in his life. He never drinks whiskey, and it is very seldom indeed that he drinks a glass of wine or champagne.

As you say, if the people of your State had been given an opportunity to express their wishes in a preferential primary the complexion of the delegation to Chicago would have been entirely different from what it is at present. Wherever the people have had a chance to express their choice in such a primary they have stood overwhelmingly with us. I am glad that you are taking an active part in the campaign.

Evert, Joplin, Mo. 32779 June 10, 1912 My dear Mr. Feig: It was fine to get your letter, and I appreciate your having written. It is just as you say, every progressive, no matter whom he may desire to see nominated, should stand together in the making-up of the Convention. I particular appreciate the attitude, coming as it does from one who was an active supporter of LaFollette in the recent campaign in Minnesota. Faithfully yours, Mr. Henry Feig, Atwater, Minn. 32780 June 10, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt was particularly glad to get your letter and to know that you are going to Chicago.

I am glad that you left Nevada to go to Chicago to take a personal hand in those contests. It looks as though the National Committee were trying to wreck the Republican Party. With all good wishes and many thanks, I am, Faithfully yours, Mr P. L. Flanigan. 32785 June 10th, 1912. My dear Mr Flynn: Naturally I am very pleased to receive such a letter from a friend on the Canal Zone as the one you wrote me. I am really touched by what you say. Faithfully yours, Mr. Patrick J.

As a matter of fact, Mr. Roosevelt has not been able to obtain up to the present time even a single ticket, although he has tried to get some for members of his family and other special personal friends who desire to attend the Convention. You might get into communication with Senator Dixon, Roosevelt Headquarters, Congress Hotel, Chicago, and see if he can be of any use to you.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr Norman Hapgood, Colliers, New York City. 32797June 10, 1912 My dear Sir: I wish it were possible for my friends to realize my position, not for my own sake, but because then they would understand just why it is that I cannot accept all the invitations which come to me. From now on I wish to avoid making any speech that I possibly can avoid, and greatly though I appreciate an invitation from such a body as the one you represent, it really is not possible for me to accept.

Harrington, Practical Bible Training School, Bible School Park, N.Y. 32798 June 10, 1912 My dear Mr. Harter: I do not know whether or not I shall have to go to Chicago.

It was a most outrageous piece of politica trickery by our opponents in stealing from the plain people of Ohio the six delegatesaat-large after they had declared by a majority of over thirty thousand against them. I cannot understand how any honorable man can take advantage of such action, and I do not think theplain people of this country are in any to submit to such high-handed methods on the part of the politicians.

My dear Sir: I am sorry to tell you that it would not do for Mr Roosevelt to approve any particular song for the coming Convention. He has been approached in dozens of instances and were he to express approval of one song, writers of other songs would feel grieved if he failed to express approval of their efforts no matter whether or not they had merit.

Faithfully yours, Charles E. Landis, Esq., 1630 Green Street, Harrisburg, Pa. 32816 June 10th, 1912. My dear Leech: That is a valuable suggestion of yours and I think I shall act upon it.

My dear Mr Seylar: Through you, I wish to thank all the friends who attended the special meeting of the Roosevelt Club of Fulton County in McConnellsburg on June 5th for the resolution which they passed.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr James Thompson, 222 Market Street, Newark, N.J. 32880June 10, 1912 My dear Mr. Thornton: It is not a question of how many votes it will win or how many votes it will lose it is a question of obtaining justice for the plain people of this country. When I put forward my proposal for a review of judicial decisions, I did not do it on the spur of the moment. For many years I had given much anxious thought to the subject. If someone else would have made a practical proposal which would have solved the difficulties we are under, it would have given me the greatest pleasure in the world to support such a proposal. When I ask for an appeal to the plain people regarding such decisions as were made by the New York Court of Appeals in the Workmen's Compensation Act, or the Bake Shop Case, or for the prevention of child labor, or for the over-working of women, or the elimination of the sweat shop; I am not seeking to overturn the Courts, I am seeking to bring justice to the plain people. This is the only civilized country in the world where the courts are able to review the acts of the legislature. In no other country can the courts override the will of the people expressed in their legislatures. You say that the plank in my platform regarding the review of such reactionary decisions seems to you like "abandoning civilization". Surely you would not contend that the great countries of Europe, the great countries of the Pacific, and the great Dominion north of our country have abandoned civilization. Faithfully yours, Amasa Thornton, Esq., 203 Broadway, New York CityJune 10th, 1912. My dear Mr Tokaji: Mr Roosevelt has asked me to thank you for your letter.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr Bela Tokaji, Brooklyn, N.Y. 32882June 10, 1912 Dear Mr. Tokaji: Mr. Roosevelt wishes me to thank you for your letter and also for your kindness in letting him see a copy of that song.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr. Bela Tokaji, 424-426 Sixth Avenue, New York City 32883June 10, 1912 My dear Mr. Towne: Mr. Roosevelt wishes me to thank you very much for your recent letter.

Wells, Secretary State Superintendents of Elections, 47 West 42nd Street, New York 32894 June 10, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt desires me to tender to you his thanks for your letter.

I sent you his former letter regarding his suggestion that Mr. Roosevelt should have P. W. Howard, one of the uncontested delegates from Mississippi, to second his nomination at the Convention. Mr. Roosevelt wants to have some colored man, and he thinks that Mr. Redmond's suggestion is admirable.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr C. A. Hooper, Eliot, Maine. 32945June 11th 1912. Dear Elon: An old friend of mine, Leigh Hunt, has offered Kermit a chance for railroading in South America which I think opens a very good opportunity to him, and one absolutely in his line. I have talked it all over with Kermit. Kermit feels as I feel, that the training he has had and the aptitudes he has shown specially fit him for just this kind of work. Of course it is a chance to go to South America, and a chance may always turn out ill; still I am inclined to think he ought to take it. The reason I hesitated was that I hated to have him leave you. I cannot overstate to you, my dear fellow, how greatly I have appreciated your friendly kindness, not only about me, but about Kermit. Moreover, I know that there is a chance that such an affair as this South American business will prove a failure. Yet I think in view of what Leigh Hunt says of the opportunity there that Kermit would probably be doing wrong not to make a trial - it would be showing the initiative that you yourself showed a dozen years ago. Give my love to Mrs Hooker. We greatly enjoyed our visit to you, and seeing all the cunning children. Let me thank you again for all your kindness. Faithfully yours, Elon H. Hooker Esq.June 11, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt desires me to tender to you his thanks for your letter.

He thinks he ought to start about the middle of July, that is, about a month hence. Does this give time for you to make arrangements for his employ with either Farquhar or Egan? I do not wish the boy to turn up in South America and find he has not got the job! Would it bother you to drop me a line on this telling me whether you want me to write to either of them myself? It was delightful seeing dear Mrs Hunt and your daughter and you the other day at Sagamore Hill, and I cannot thank you sufficiently for the interest you are taking in Kermit. Believe me, my dear fellow, I appreciate it. Faithfully yours, Leigh Hunt Esq. 8June 11, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt desires me to tender to you his thanks for your letter. He would write you a personal note of acknowledgment, but he is almost overwhelmed by the floods of correspondence from his friends. He very heartily appreciates all that you say. Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr. C./ C. Hunter, 610 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 32949June 11th, 1912. My dear Comrade: It was very good of you to send me on that clipping from the Dayton Journal. It was a most outrageous piece of political trickery on the part of our opponents in stealing from the people of Ohio the six delegates-at-large after they had declared by a majority of over thirty thousand that they did not wish Mr Taft to be the candidate. I cannot understand how any honorable man can take advantage of such action, and I do not think the people of this country are in any mood to submit to such high-handed methods on the part of the politicians. I am glad that the old soldiers are with us in this fight and that they will stay with us to the end. This is as much their fight as our fight, for it is a contest between the plain people of this country on the one side, and the alliance of crooked financial interests and crooked politicians on the other. Faithfully yours, Mr A. M. Irvine, Dayton, Ohio. CJune 11, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt desires me to tender to you his thanks for your letter.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr. E. S. Rayworth, Antigo, Wis. 32984June 11, 1912 My dear Mr. Redmond: I want some colored man to second my nomination. From what you say, Mr. Howard would be peculiarly fit to do so. I would not like to commit myself definitely, at present, however, but to wait until I know who are the other colored men to be at the Convention. I am immediately communicating with Senator Dixon regarding the matter. Faithfully yours, S. D. Redmond, Esq., Roof Garden Building, Jackson, Miss. 32985June 11, 1912 Dear Mr. Reynolds: Mr. Roosevelt has asked me to send on the enclosed pamphlet to you. He wishes that at your leisure you would read it and give him your advice. Faithfully yours, James Bronson Reynolds, Esq., 151 Central Park West, New York City 32986June 11th, 1912. My dear Reynolds: I want to make sure you understand that the reason I cannot sign the statement is that it is drawn up only for regular Republicans and I have absolutely no affiliations with any party. I am in most entire sympathy with the object you seek to reach and wish very much that I could sign this without making statements about myself which would be inaccurate. Yours sincerely, Mr. J. B. Reynolds, District Attorney's Office, New York City. NH-GD [*32987*]June 11, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt desires me to tender to you his thanks for your letter. He would write you a personal note of acknowledgment, but he is almost overwhelmed by the floods of correspondence from his friends. Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr. T. L.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr. B. P. Avery Robinson, P. O. Box 219, Santa Barbara, Cal. 32989June 11th, 1912. My dear Sir: Mr Roosevelt is particularly anxious to get as many of his active supporters as he can in Chicago during the time the Convention is being held, and as many days before as they are able to be there. He knows of the good work which you have been doing on his behalf and he feels sure that you could do effective work if you could so plan your private affairs as to be able to spend several days in Chicago. He would write you a personal note, but at present it is a physical impossibility for him to attend to his correspondenc in the way he would like to do. Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr Thomas S. Rollins, Asheville, N. C. 32990June 11th, 1912. My dear Mr Russell: These are very interesting letters. I thank you for letting me see them.

Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr. T. M. Sample, 307 Kirby Avenue, Chattanooga, Tenn. 32992June 11, 1912 My dear Sir: Mr. Roosevelt receives every day a number of requests for subscriptions to various causes in which he believes, but I am sure on thinking it over you will see how impossible it is for him to comply in each case. He is by no means a rich man, and he is already doing all that it is possible for him to do in keeping up with the demands made upon him which he already practically committed to and which he cannot well refuse. He is really sorry not to be able to do as you ask, and trusts you will understand and appreciate why he is unable to help you. Faithfully yours, Secretary Rev. R. F.

During the past few months he has been compelled to decline literally thousands of invitations, some of which he would really like to accept but is physically unable to. He is really sorry. Faithfully yours, Secretary Mr. W. W. Stewart, Buckeye Union Industrial School, Wrightsville, Ga. 33002June 11, 1912 Dear Governor Stokes: I am afraid I may have to go. As for running independently or not, that must be as the event decides. To a majority I will always yield, but to yield to theft is a very different question. We must see what the temper of the people is and how gross the theft is. Faithfully yours, Hon. Edward C. Stokes, Mechanics National Bank, Trenton, N. J. 33003June 11th, 1912.
