John A. Sleicher writes Theodore Roosevelt about a number of political matters in New York and nationally. Sleicher believes that the most important change Roosevelt can now accomplish in Washington is in regards to the tariff. Sleicher believes Roosevelt’s current idea is the correct one. In New York politics, Sleicher notes that The Herald seems to be in Roosevelt’s favor. Sleicher also wishes Roosevelt would put his “heavy, velvety hand” on the situation regarding the factions within the state party and talk to Governor Higgins, in order to maintain the party’s supremacy in the state.
