Alfred Spring spent several days in Washington, D.C., exploring the politics surrounding President Roosevelt’s nomination next year. He found opposition among “men representing aggregated wealth and also among certain Senators and Representatives in Congress.” However, this opposition had not crystallized around a particular candidate in large part because of the clear popular support for Roosevelt in Republican states. He proposes that New York delegates to the national convention be chosen as early as possible to prove unanimity of home state support.
