Frank S. Witherbee forwards a letter he recently received from Illinois Governor Richard Yates, who asks that President Roosevelt express to Illinois Senator Shelby M. Cullom and Representative Joseph Gurney Cannon that Yates is Roosevelt’s friend. Yates believes this will stop them from working to prevent delegates from supporting Yates in the Illinois Republican State Convention. Witherbee mentions he notified Yates that Roosevelt will most likely remain neutral.
