President Roosevelt is pleased to be of assistance to William Dudley Foulke. Roosevelt is having a difficult time getting Governor Charles Evans Hughes renominated in New York, as Hughes has insulted working politicians for positive press from The Evening Post and its crowd and now requires outside interference to succeed. People have accused Roosevelt of having dictated the nomination of William H. Taft for president, but Roosevelt says that he has been working harder for Hughes than he did for Taft.
