Letter from Nathan W. Hale to Theodore Roosevelt
Representative Hale of Tennessee writes to President Roosevelt with information in the interest of building a respectable Republican party in Tennessee. Hale says that Tennessee has been corrupt for 15 years, but under Roosevelt the state organization has been cleaned up. He hopes this will continue under the administration of Secretary of War William H. Taft, Roosevelt’s likely successor. Hale worries about slanderous claims about his nomination and corruption in the Southern faction of the party. He feels he has given up much for the good of the party, and hopes Roosevelt will not believe the charges against him.
