President Roosevelt doubts the advisability of William Dudley Foulke’s making a statement in favor of Representative James E. Watson without it appearing to reflect on Speaker of the House Joseph Gurney Cannon. Roosevelt is glad that Foulke thinks the campaign is going well but worries about opposition from labor parties and New York State.
