Gentlemen:
/ deeply appreciate your letter,

responsibility it puts upon me. ex-
pressing as it does the carefully
considered convictions Of the men
elected by popular vote to stand as
the heads of government in their
several states.
I absolutely agree with you that
this matter is not one to be decided
with any reference to the personal
preferences or interests of any man,
but purely from the standpoint of
the interests of the people as a whole.
will accept the nomination for
President if it is rendered to me, and
Twill adhere to this decision until the
convention has expressed its prefer
ence. One of the chief principles
for which / have stood and for which
Inow stand. and which have always
endeavored and always shall en-
deavor to reduce to action, is the
genuine rule of the people, and there
fore / hope that so far as possible
the people may be given the chance,
through direct primaries, to express
their preference as to who shall be
the nominee of the Republican presi-
dental convention.
very truly yours,
Theodore Roosevelt"
After his election for the second
