Whitelaw Reid writes to President Roosevelt to inform him that he met with Governor Odell, who seems to agree that the interview he granted which put him at the forefront of the campaign rather than Lieutenant Governor Higgins was a mistake. Reid goes on to detail aspects of the Republican campaign that he is supporting and to express his opinion that Roosevelt is guaranteed to win New York state, but he is not sure the same is true of Higgins.
