With President Roosevelt’s return from his western tour, speculation has begun regarding his likely vice presidential nominee in the upcoming elections. William H. Taft is expected to be appointed Secretary of War, so his name is not to be considered. The likely candidate, according to the Philadelphia Press, is Ohio Governor Myron T. Herrick. He is purported to rise to consideration in the same way that Garret A. Hobart did as William McKinley’s vice president, through success in both business and politics.
