Elbert F. Baldwin is out of town attending to the birth of his fifth child, Janet Sterling Baldwin. Baldwin shares his opinion with President Roosevelt that his friend John Hays Hammond should be Secretary of War William H. Taft’s vice presidential candidate. Hammond’s strength as a mining engineer and his sympathy with the Roosevelt administration’s conservation reforms would make him a good candidate.
