Paul D. Cravath congratulates President Roosevelt on the election of Charles Evans Hughes in New York, because without Roosevelt’s help and the speeches of Elihu Root he thinks that William Randolph Hearst would have been elected instead. He nevertheless thinks that Hearst will continue to be a strong factor in New York politics. The politics of labor and capital will continue to be the most important political question in the coming years. Cravath admits that in the past he has had some doubts about Roosevelt’s policies, but now promises to try to influence the opinions of his friends on Wall Street to Roosevelt’s side.
