Letter from Hector M. Hitchings to Theodore Roosevelt
Hector M. Hitchings urges President Roosevelt to have Secretary of War Taft speak at the meeting of the West Side Republican Club in support of Charles Evans Hughes’s candidacy for Governor of New York. While Republicans think Hughes will be elected by a heavy majority, no one is able to accurately gauge the sentiment of that class of people who make up a large bulk of the state. Hitchings thinks having the influence and bearing of Taft at the meeting will combat support for William Randolph Hearst.
