During a visit by President Roosevelt to Abraham Lincoln’s tomb in Springfield, Governor Richard Yates of Illinois asked for Senator Shelby M. Cullom’s support in the upcoming political campaign. Cullom demurred that this was neither the time nor the place for such a conversation, and Roosevelt signified that he did not intend to enter into a factional fight in state politics.
