President Roosevelt tells John A. Sleicher he is reluctant to appear to be a dictator or to force the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for governor of New York. However, he has done, and will continue to do, all he can to impress upon leaders his “very strong personal judgement” that Hughes should be renominated. Doing otherwise would be a mistake.
