President Roosevelt congratulates Idaho Governor Gooding on his reelection. Roosevelt asked Secretary of War William H. Taft to visit Idaho because he believes Gooding is “a champion of that spirit of American liberty.” He does not regard Gooding’s victory more highly than that of Charles Evans Hughes in New York but rather applauds them both for helping to work against tyranny.
