James Rudolph Garfield informs President Roosevelt of “a very general revolt” in the Ohio Republican party against Senator Charles Dick. Garfield says that many in the eastern part of the state favor change, particularly because they support Roosevelt and it would be inconsistent to do so and also support those who have opposed him. Garfield seeks Roosevelt’s suggestions on handling the situation.
