Letter from Eli Shelby Hammond to William Loeb
Eli Shelby Hammond discusses the prosecution of Tennessee Governor Benton McMillin for his campaign against Senator Bate. Hammond also addresses McMillin’s interview with the Commercial Appeal in which he reportedly called Roosevelt “a coward” for accepting secret sercive protection. Hammond saw mention of the interview in New York Newspaper; he relays that he defended McMillin against these claims, but believes McMillin capable of saying such things when drinking in Memphis.
