THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Theodore Roosevelt writes a letter of thanks to Harold J. Howland for coming
out to vote even though he was injured.
Typed Letter Signed: "Theodore Roosevelt", 1p, 6¾x7½. New York,
1912 November 12. On letterhead of "The Outlook" to Harold J.
Howland. In full: "I am greatly concerned to learn that you are
still laid up. It was fine your coming out to vote. Give my warmest regards to
Mrs Howland and with all good wishes, I am, Faithfully your friend."
HOWLAND, of Montclair, New Jersey, had served as an alternate delegate to
the 1912 Republican National Convention in Chicago. On June 19, 1912, he walked
out of the convention with other Roosevelt supporters after President Taft was
re-nominated and helped organize the Progressive Party. At the Progressive Party
convention, held in Chicago from August 5-7, 1912, ROOSEVELT received its
presidential nomination. On November 5, 1912, Democrat Woodrow Wilson (435
electoral votes) defeated both Roosevelt (88 votes) and Taft (8 votes). In this
letter, written just a week after the election, Roosevelt thanks Howland for
voting for him. In 1921, two years after TR's death, Howland wrote Theodore
Roosevelt and His Times: A Chronicle of the Progressive Movement. It was
republished in 1972 and 1992. Lightly creased. Transfer of letterhead and
pinhead-size stain at lower blank margin. Overall, fine condition.
