Letter from Timothy L. Woodruff to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Hearst, William Randolph, 1863-1951, Hughes, Charles Evans, 1862-1948, Sherrill, Charles Hitchcock, 1867-1936

Timothy L. Woodruff, Chairman of the New York Republican State Committee, responds to President Roosevelt’s telegram about whether Woodruff called on Roosevelt to deny a Hearst publication. Woodruff confirms that he did not publicly suggest that Roosevelt reply to the publication, but explains from where that understanding may have derived. Woodruff also attaches a telegram that generally illustrates his correspondence about Roosevelt’s endorsement for the upcoming New York Governor’s election between William Randolph Hearst and Charles Evans Hughes.
