Charles P. Taft warns Secretary of War William H. Taft that Ohio Revenue Collector Bernhard Bettmann’s office is full of “Foraker people” who work against him, alongside three or four Taft supporters. They plan to get up rump conventions in order to have two sets of delegates in certain districts, including the sixth. Charles P. Taft told his informant to lay the issue before Commissioner Arthur I. Vorys, but they must make it known the Federal offices will not line up on Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker’s side.
