Frank Haverty says the people of New York credit President Roosevelt with forcing the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for the Republican Party, whom decent Democrats could support. He fears, however, that the proposed New York speaking tour of Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of War William H. Taft, Speaker of the House Joseph Gurney Cannon, and Senator Albert J. Beveridge, among others, will cause thousands of Democrats to vote for William Randolph Hearst or to not vote at all.
