President Roosevelt can testify in support of William C. Van Fleet. At the Republican National Convention in 1904, rival Edward Harriman’s men attempted to gain control of the Republican delegation from California, and Van Fleet was one of the men who stopped them. Because of this, Roosevelt is interested in what is happening in San Francisco.
