Secretary of War Taft sends President Roosevelt a copy of a telegram congratulating Taft on receiving the endorsement of the Ohio Republican Party for president in the upcoming election. Taft says that Senator Joseph Benson Foraker is “becoming more personal” in his speeches against Taft and is demanding more detail on Taft’s position of the tariff, the particulars of which Taft says are a matter for Congress, not him.
