Politics, Etc. by John Nesler
Henry Wallace, Vice President under Franklin Roosevelt
The New York Times, April 9, 1944
On returning from my trip to the West in February, I received a request from The New York Times to write a piece answering the following questions:
Theodore Roosevelt was never a particularly restful soul. After he left the presidency, and then failed to reattain the White House running as a member of the self-created Progressive Party in 1912, Teddy wished to remain an active voice in politics. Between September 1917 and his death in 1919, Roosevelt penned a column which regularly appeared in The Kansas City Star, a newspaper which is still in circulation today.
