President Roosevelt informs Nicholas Murray Butler that Benjamin B. Odell is starting to believe that Butler’s nomination would be the strongest if Elihu Root does not run. He hopes that Butler will accept the nomination and adds that, if Butler were to accept, he would not be able to pay any visits since people will try to associate him with Roosevelt.
