Facsimile of a letter attributed to Republican governor hopeful Robert D. Carey shows a blunt, self exposing view of the candidate. The document, labeled a confession, appears in the press as part of ongoing coverage of Carey’s campaign and political stance.
A Cheyenne letter reveals Mr. Carey, a wealthy Wyoming figure, refused a Roosevelt era commission, citing his wealth, family strain, and business obligations to avoid serving in the war. He notes potential draft exemptions if governor and questions confidential wartime confidants. He stresses willingness to serve if national need justifies sacrifices.
Theodore Roosevelt argues that life and death are part of a larger adventure. He asserts a citizen must prioritize national duty over personal safety and that a country is worthy only if its people are willing to die for a just cause, urging both men and women to share in the sacrifice.
A political appeal questions a gubernatorial candidate’s leadership record in wartime service. It accuses the man of placing self above duty and failing to guide troops, urging voters to assess courage, responsibility, and national service in the forthcoming election.
