Seth Bullock updates William Loeb on the political situation in the the Midwest. Iowa and Nebraska will support Secretary of War William H. Taft for President. Senator E. J. Burkett of Nebraska would be willing to support Charles Evans Hughes or Senator Robert M. La Follette in exchange for the Vice Presidential nomination, but will not be successful. The situation is more complicated in the Dakotas, where different factions are taking advantage of political divides in Republican parties in those states. In particular, La Follette is working thoroughly for votes in North Dakota.
