George C. Pardee, former Governor of California, warns that Secretary of War William H. Taft should not trust Edward Henry Harriman when he says he supports Taft’s nomination. Harriman and the Southern Pacific Railroad Company’s Political Bureau consider Taft too similar to President Roosevelt and, in the likely case they are involved with the California delegation to the Republican National Convention, would break from supporting him if the opportunity presents itself.
