President Roosevelt appreciates Timothy L. Woodruff’s input regarding renominating Governor Charles Evans Hughes. He believes, “it will hurt to renominate him,” but “it will hurt much more if we do not renominate him.” Based on submitted canvasses, and despite weakness in Hughes’s record and voter opposition, Roosevelt is convinced he should be renominated.
