President Roosevelt entirely believes Governor Charles Evans Hughes should be renominated and has given his opinion to various party leaders. He cannot dictate the nomination, but notes that he has done more to secure Hughes’ nomination than he did to bring about William H. Taft’s nomination as Republican presidential candidate. While there are reasons to oppose Hughes, the reasons for renominating him counterbalance them.
