President Roosevelt tells Representative Parsons, member of the New York Republican County Committee, that he believes it was wrong to leave off Judge Otto Alfred Rosalsky from the nominations and furthermore does not agree with the Nominators’ Committee on adding Democrats to the Republican ticket. Roosevelt believes it is the utmost importance that Republicans do all they can in all elections in New York to support a victory against William Randolph Hearst in the “main contest” for governor.
