Oscar S. Straus updates President Roosevelt on the status of the campaigns in New York. Straus is assisting Timothy L. Woodruff, the Chair of the Republican State Committee in New York. He says that while he and Nathan Bijur have their “hands on the pulses on the Eastside,” he is sure that William Randolph Hearst will mislead the people over there. Straus says it is different this year, as Tammany Hall is behind Hearst rather than George B. McClellan. Straus commends Bijur for his work, and says that the leading newspapers of the Eastside are supporting Charles Evans Hughes for Governor.
