Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Wade H. Ellis

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Wade H. Ellis

President Roosevelt is encouraged by Wade H. Ellis’s news. He notes that he has always said that William H. Taft would just about get his electoral vote from four years ago. He believes that east of the Alleghenies, Taft will get more of the popular vote than he did. Taft will also do well west of the Alleghenies. He hopes that the Republican National Committee will adopt Ellis’s suggestion about publishing the names of labor leaders.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Wade H. Ellis

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Wade H. Ellis

President Roosevelt agrees with Ohio Attorney General Ellis’s letter. While Roosevelt asked Daniel J. Keefe to make a statement, he does not think it is possible for the President to ask someone he does not know well to do so. Patrick H. Morrissey has said he supports William H. Taft. Roosevelt asks if someone in Ohio or the National Committee could carry out Ellis’s plan.

Copy of letter sent by Robert H. Patton to Hon. Wade H. Ellis June 22, 1908.

Copy of letter sent by Robert H. Patton to Hon. Wade H. Ellis June 22, 1908.

Robert H. Patton asks Wade H. Ellis for some clarification about the statement that the Republican party platform reaffirms the adherence ‘to every Republican doctrine proclaimed since the birth of the party,’ wondering specifically about the sixteenth plank of the platform of 1872. (This plank appears to be: “The Republican party proposes to respect the rights reserved by the people to themselves, as carefully as the powers delegated by them to the state and to the federal government. It disapproves of the resort to unconstitutional laws for the purpose of removing evil, by interference with rights not surrendered by the people to either the state or national government.”)
