Letter from J. J. Russell to William H. Taft
J. J. Russell encourages President Taft to withdraw from the presidential race as the Republican vote will be split and Governor Wilson, William Jennings Bryan, and the Democrats will win. Since Theodore Roosevelt will not withdraw, Taft must leave the race to maintain Republican leadership of the country. Such an act will place Taft in an excellent position for the 1916 presidential election.
