Francis B. Loomis writes to William Loeb that while talking to judge William R. Day recently, Day raised the question of the negative influence of Ohio Insurance Commissioner Arthur I. Vorys on supporters of Secretary of War William H. Taft in Ohio. He sensed this same feeling around Springfield, Illinois, and thinks the matter calls for President Roosevelt’s consideration. The Republican Club feels Loeb should take charge of the Taft campaign and Charles Phelps Taft should contribute funds for the work.
