By the time President Roosevelt had already sent his letter to the National Committee for publication when he heard that William H. Taft’s people did not want him to publish it, and it was too late to withdraw it. He hopes it still did some good with workingmen. Roosevelt thinks that Taft has done good work in New York, and believes he may win Missouri; the only state he is concerned about now is Ohio.
