Theodore Roosevelt writes in response to Judge Nortoni’s endorsement of Governor Hadley as a vice presidential candidate. Roosevelt states that while he thinks very highly of Hadley, he would find it difficult to choose between Hadley and Governor Hiram Johnson. Roosevelt has, however, requested that Hadley be the temporary chairman at the Republican National Convention, in the event that they control it.
