Indiana Attorney General Bingham believes that it would be a mistake to nominate Secretary of War William H. Taft instead of President Roosevelt. He informs Roosevelt that he is going to the convention intending to do all he can to prevent Taft’s nomination. Bingham also discusses the nominee for the Vice-Presidency. He believes that the state of Indiana would like to see its Governor, J. Frank Hanly, nominated for the position if current Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks would not like to be renominated.
