President Roosevelt tells J. Sloat Fassett he is glad he is not involved in the nominating process for the governor of New York. Roosevelt has forwarded a “deluge” of letters both for and against the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes to Timothy L. Woodruff. Roosevelt agrees with Fassett that the nomination should be determined by the people in the primaries.
