President Roosevelt is glad William H. Taft has been going after William Jennings Bryan in the right way. Even though Governor Charles Evans Hughes remains spiteful, Roosevelt is pleased with his renomination. Roosevelt feels they will do well in most states, but cautions against taking chances. Letters are still coming in against Taft’s golfing.
