President Roosevelt tells Representative Sherman about Secretary of State Elihu Root’s suggestions regarding Congress’s measures in the last seven years. The people at the Republican National Headquarters thought it would be better to split the letter in two, and Roosevelt has adopted Sherman’s suggestions as part of this change. Roosevelt believes Governor Charles Evans Hughes must be renominated; otherwise there is potential for disaster.
