President Roosevelt is glad Charles Henry Grosvenor thinks Ohio will be alright. Roosevelt thinks New York will also be alright, because of the nomination of Governor Charles Evans Hughes, but William H. Taft will still need to put up a fight and speak out against Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Roosevelt does not think his stumping would be a wise idea, and he would rather see Taft’s personality on display in the campaign than his own.
