In Leslie’s Weekly, former New York City Mayor Seth Low writes about why he feels Charles Evan Hughes, Governor of New York, would be the best Republican candidate for president on 1908. In his view, Hughes has the best chance of winning New York given his strong record there as governor, and without New York the Republican chances of victory are slim. While Low holds many others in high esteem, he feels that Hughes is the safest choice for Republicans given the challenging election they will face.
