President Roosevelt comments to T. Jefferson Coolidge on the nomination of William H. Taft as Republican candidate for president.

He thinks that the anti-Taft forces will particularly try to control Southern delegates. Joseph Benson Foraker has appealed to Judson Whitlocke Lyons, the National Committeeman from Georgia, using the Brownsville incident. Roosevelt asks Coolidge if he could use his connections to appeal to Lyons’s friends to ask Lyons to stand honorably on the questions.
