Washington Letter on Roosevelt Campaign Events and Oversight
A Washington Letter discusses shifting bets on Theodore Roosevelt, McKinley’s prepared speeches aimed at uniting voters, and the Senate commission’s tour of army camps. It notes German opposition, naval testimony about Santiago, costs of the commission, and political pressures on federal office holders during the 1898 campaign season. The piece also touches on party dynamics in the eastern counties and a local wedding anniversary column.
