Joseph Bucklin Bishop writes to President Roosevelt about the Republican election strategy. First, he notes that he does not think Chief Judge Parker’s Democratic nomination acceptance letter will increase his success in the campaign. Then he goes on to say that Parker’s ideas about pensions make for a delicate political situation. Finally, he says he is getting conflicting reports on the situation in New York and the conflict between Governor Odell and Lieutenant Governor Higgins, and he will update Roosevelt when he knows anything definite.
