Judge Spring argues that there is no opposition to President Roosevelt in New York, but that it is possible that Governor Odell desires to be a presidential candidate. For this Odell would need to cooperate with Senator Platt, which is unlikely. Spring suggests that by keeping in touch with local leaders, Roosevelt can keep abreast of any challenges.
