Theodore Roosevelt assures John Callan O’Laughlin that he never wrote that he would accept anybody but William H. Taft, but he did write to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge that they must not expect them to come back to Taft. Lodge understands that the letter was for him personally and not to be quoted. Roosevelt does not believe it is time for him to speak in public in any shape or way.
