President Roosevelt appreciates A. Miner Wellman’s arguments against Governor Charles Evans Hughes. While Hughes’s actions weakened him as a candidate, Roosevelt believes more votes will be lost by not renominating Hughes than by renominating him. His feelings aside, Roosevelt hopes the convention will follow the judgment of the majority of New York Republicans.
