J. H. Woodard tells President Roosevelt that Senator Charles W. Fairbanks is favored in Indiana for the Presidential nomination in 1904 but Roosevelt is the second choice. Woodard believes Roosevelt can secure the nomination with careful handling of the Isthmian Canal and Philippine situation. Another important factor will be the careful distribution of patronage and appointments in the South and in Republican states.
