Whitelaw Reid asks Nicholas Murray Butler whether it might not be in President Roosevelt’s best interests politically to leave “our friend” at his post at a New York newspaper. As they are entering a campaign without many New York newspapers devoted to Roosevelt’s cause, their friend will likely do more good by staying and not going to the New York Tribune.
