Robert Chisolm is concerned about the state of the Republican Party in the South and believes that President Roosevelt can improve the situation. However, Chisolm has heard that Roosevelt is considering not being a presidential candidate after he has completed William McKinley’s term. Such a decision is too early. Roosevelt can help matters in the South and should only appoint Republicans to government positions.
