Letter from David Webster Flanagan to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Lyon, Cecil Andrew, 1869-1916, Reily, E. Mont (Emmet Montgomery), 1866-1954

David Webster Flanagan reports to President Roosevelt on the political situation in Texas. He feels confident in predicting that the state convention will be called early in favor of Roosevelt. Flanagan does predict that there may be some difficulty from the Eighth Congressional District, because one of the possible delegates is discontented at not being reappointed Postmaster, but he hopes to be able to muster a unified delegation from Texas who are all enthusiastically in favor for Roosevelt.
