Charles Evans Hughes reminds President Roosevelt that he can go no further in his work on coal matters, given that he hopes to win election as Governor of New York. Hughes believes that Attorney General William H. Moody should have a formal record of his resignation, and so he is asking Jacob Gould Schuman to send a note to Moody. Hughes also looks for a “handsome victory” on Tuesday, thanks Roosevelt for all he has done, and wishes he could have heard Secretary of State Elihu Root’s “great speech.”
