William H. Taft is glad to see the rough draft of President Roosevelt’s letter to Representatives Henry C. Loudenslager and William Brown McKinley. He has not seen George W. Alger’s article. The New York situation concerns Taft, and he hopes Roosevelt will secure Governor Charles Evans Hughes’ renomination. He has no intentions of making the guaranty of bank deposits an issue and believes the system is erroneous.
