President Roosevelt discusses the election prospects in various states. In particular he discusses the conditions in Ohio and New York, where “underground forces” are working against William H. Taft. However, Roosevelt believes that they will pull through and win the election. He believes that Charles Evans Hughes will win his election in New York as well. Roosevelt is glad that Senator Lodge is going on the stump. Hughes, Lodge, and Senator Albert J. Beveridge are the speakers who are most in demand.
