John Warne Gates shares with President Roosevelt his assessment of the upcoming New York gubernatorial election. The Republican Party finds itself financially limited by the new law on corporate contributions. According to Gates, “one man, and one alone . . . can come into this campaign and turn the tide for Hughes,” and thus he entreats that man—Roosevelt—to join the campaign in New York.
