John O. Yeiser is sending a petition along with this letter hoping the recipient will talk with a few trusted friends and begin to obtain membership to the club, though Yeiser does not want it getting out yet in order to reduce rival efforts. The effort is being started in prominent cities of Nebraska to bring good men together to choose who they will vote for. If Theodore Roosevelt will not be nominated, they need to decide who they will choose, even if it is William H. Taft.
