She discusses the many reasons she is confident that President Roosevelt will be reelected later in the year and describes in detail all of the reasons the other men considered would be poor candidates. She notes a worry that the army’s vote is shifting from Republican loyalty from General Henry C. Corbin. She also discusses criticism of some of the newspapers for their partisanship.
