Senator Bourne argues that delegates from Arizona at the Republican National Convention need to be on the side of the president and not “reactionaries.” Bourne believes in order to do this, Roosevelt needs to replace Joseph H. Kibbey, Governor of Arizona. He says his talk with Judge Steele reinforces that idea. Bourne requests a meeting at Oyster Bay towards the end of the month.
