Theodore Roosevelt thinks it is probable that in the course of his libel suit with William Barnes he will need to relate how the fight was undertaken. Roosevelt notes that it started at Cambridge, when Charles Evans Hughes asked him to do all that he could to get the Primary Bill through. Hughes had told Roosevelt that the “Barnes-Republicans” had joined with Tammany Hall to hold up the legislation, and that an appeal needed to be made to decent citizens to override the combination. Roosevelt cannot recall whether Hughes had used the term “Barnes-Republicans” or “Barnes-machine,” but he does remember Hughes using the word “Barnes.” Roosevelt does not remember Hughes using the word “Murphy” when speaking about Tammany Hall. Roosevelt writes simply to let Hughes know what his memory is in the matter.
