John Appleton Stewart clarifies that the meetings for laboring men that William H. Taft and Governor Charles Evans Hughes will speak at are in Harlem. He tells William Loeb that a railroad men’s league is being organized, and that they will support Taft. Stewart encloses a letter that shows Frank H. Hitchcock’s attitude toward John Hays Hammond and his work. Stewart does not understand how Hitchcock cannot see the value of Hammond’s political influence.
