Texas Republican National Committee Chairman Lyon is certain that assistant postmaster Frank H. Hitchcock did not direct any southern state Republican committee members to renominate Roosevelt, as the enclosed newspaper article reports. He would like President Roosevelt to personally confirm the article’s account of Roosevelt’s meeting with Hitchcock and Postmaster General George von Lengerke Meyer about the rumors. Lyon contacted Secretary of War William H. Taft’s campaign manager, Arthur I. Vorys, to confirm that he did not need to worry about Texas Republicans supporting him, provided Roosevelt still endorses Taft.
