J. Sloat Fassett writes to William Loeb about New York state politics. Fassett thinks that Governor Frank Wayland Higgins and Lieutenant Governor Benjamin B. Odell are about to lose their positions and finds Charles Evans Hughes a good choice for Governor. Fassett thinks Edgar Truman Brackett is not much without his partner and is a “vindictive, bitter man.” Hughes polls well and is gaining attention from the media, including William Randolph Hearst. Fassett wishes that Roosevelt could offer advice impartially, as he finds state Republican Party leader Timothy L. Woodruff ineffectual.
