Governor Hadley encourages the rapid formation of an executive committee of the National Roosevelt Committee. He would like to see someone on this committee assigned to handle the campaign west of the Mississippi River and suggests Thomas K. Niedringhaus or, preferably, Walter S. Dickey. Hadley provides an update on the campaign in Missouri, which would be helped by a prompt declaration from Theodore Roosevelt of his willingness to accept the Republican presidential nomination.
