S. S. McNinch is concerned about the Republican Party’s political outlook under President William H. Taft’s leadership. Taft is unpopular in North Carolina due to his selection of Democrats for important positions, reciprocity, and not supporting Theodore Roosevelt’s policies. He believes that “the whole country will go Democratic” unless proper leadership is given and wishes Roosevelt were a candidate.
