Strong, mostly in Chicago, who is referred to in one as Chairman, Progressive County Central Committee of Du Page County (Illinois). The letters concern Progressive Party politics and the 1912 platform, Roosevelt's opinions on being an American and on William Jennings Bryan, who he refers to as "a good-hearted man of precisely the temperament best fitted to make a success as 'barker' for patent medicine" (1916 December 15).
