Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John Clay Davies

President Roosevelt is concerned over the controversy for political candidates in John Clay Davies’s district, Oneida County, for the upcoming elections for New York State Legislature. Roosevelt believes that Davies should consider William Cary Sanger as an alternative to the current candidates, and believes him to be “a man of the highest character, the kind of man whose presence at Albany is a guaranty of courage and good faith.” Roosevelt believes the upcoming race for governor of New York between William Randolph Hearst and Charles Evans Hughes is of great importance and all should be done to uphold the Republican party’s strength.
