Roosevelt’s Message Influence on Labor Reform Debate
The piece argues Roosevelt’s late message seeks to curb court injunctions in labor cases and claims it aims to win labor votes for the Republican Party. It quotes Roosevelt’s September 1896 Review of Reviews article contrasting injunction opponents with cavemen and mammoths, labeling their ideas as geological survivals. It contends Roosevelt’s rhetoric is political theater, unlikely to shift party policy, and notes Bryan’s stance and Roosevelt’s lack of concrete results in office amid a current financial panic and rising trusts.

No Show For A Leasing Bill In Congress
Senator Warren states there is not the slightest prospect of any grazing or leasing bill passing this session or any future session without amendments. He cites no votes or declarations in support of grazing bills and distances himself from Baron Finchot's approach to forest reserves. The letter implies Warren cannot craft a leasing measure acceptable to western advocates and warns that the Democratic Party will back state sovereignty against federal landlordism if the president pursues such a bill.
