E. Mont Reily expresses his concerns regarding the upcoming presidential election to Theodore Roosevelt. Reily has been invited by John Hays Hammond to a luncheon and conference to meet President William H. Taft and begin planning for the 1912 campaign. He does not believe, however, that Taft has a chance of winning the election, and thinks that Roosevelt is the only one who can save the Republican party from defeat. He asks for Roosevelt’s advice on the matter.
