Letter from Charles S. Francis to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Loeb, William, 1866-1937, Presidential candidates, Press and politics, Taft, William H. (William Howard), 1857-1930

Charles S. Francis recently discussed the political situation with Collector of the Port William Loeb who said President William H. Taft’s renomination was inevitable and that Theodore Roosevelt’s friends would be united for Republican success. This agrees with what Roosevelt recently told Francis. Loeb assured Francis that editorial support of Taft in the Troy Times would not be viewed as disloyalty to Roosevelt and instead is what he wants. Francis asks Roosevelt for suggestions before beginning any editorial work and asks if he objects to him accepting Taft’s invitation to confer with him.
