President Roosevelt expresses that he cannot “press such a view” that Miller suggests. Roosevelt cites men like Charles Evans Hughes, and Representative Sereno Payne, who believe the New York campaign for Governor should be a fought solely on state issues rather than putting any emphasis on the national government and its administration. Roosevelt notes that he and his cabinet have been at the service of the people of New York throughout the campaign, but it has been suggested to him that he should not alter the character of the campaign.
