W. R. McCormack is “entirely right” in his opinion about William H. Taft. President Roosevelt encloses a copy of a letter that Bishop Joseph C. Hartzell has written, which can be made public. Roosevelt also encloses a letter, which he would like to remain private, that he is going to send to a man who is against Taft and which required an expression of Roosevelt’s opinion about Taft’s religious views.
