Theodore Roosevelt trusts George E. Miller’s judgment and appreciates the clippings he sent. However, Roosevelt feels it would be a “calamity” if he were nominated. He believes that supporters of President William H. Taft and Robert M. La Follette would think Roosevelt had been “intriguing” for the nomination. Roosevelt hopes Miller can come to New York to discuss more.
