Theodore Roosevelt believes that it is a falsehood to say there was any kind of controversy between himself and Herbert Hadley at the 1912 Republican National Convention in Chicago. He believes that the voting rolls were corrupted and asserts that had they not been, he would have supported the candidacy of Hadley, Albert Cummins, Charles Hughes, or any man nominated in “an honest fashion.”
