President Roosevelt thinks Benjamin Ide Wheeler’s letter of the 15th was very wise, saying that he summed up the situation regarding Secretary of War William H. Taft’s candidacy very well. Roosevelt says he was surprised at the conservative nature of the delegates, but supposes that the cause is due to the fact there was no fight on a principle made in choosing the delegates
