John J. McCook updates President Roosevelt on sudden shifts in “declared” political views in New York, and compares it to Senator Marcus Alonzo Hanna’s declaration that he would not run for president in 1904. McCook warns that these sudden shifts in New York could have repercussions throughout the country. He offers to go over the particulars of the situation with Roosevelt in person, if Roosevelt would so desire.
