President Roosevelt agrees with journalist Henry L. Stoddard. While it will do damage to nominate New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes, it will do more damage not to nominate him. Although Hughes has offended other politicians, Roosevelt believes he should be renominated as long as there is nothing against Hughes’s personal integrity.
