Internal Revenue Commissioner John G. Capers reports that Southern Republicans do not consider Secretary of War William H. Taft a serious presidential candidate and insist President Roosevelt take the nomination. Although Capers does not share how he will compel Roosevelt to run for a third term, he believes the people “and not Mr. Roosevelt should be permitted to act as judge” in the matter of nominating a suitable candidate.
