Letter from J. H. Woodard to John R. McLean

J. H. Woodard quotes George S. Payne, a traveling salesman for the Advertising Novelty Company of Cincinnati and former Democratic Committee member. Payne believes that Roosevelt will win the presidential election in Indiana because he has the support of the farmers. Although people believe in “the integrity, courage and ability” of Judge Parker, “no one believes that he can rise higher than the average of his partisans,” who “represent every shade of commercial, financial and tariff views.” Payne notes that the Republicans gained influence in Indiana when the rural delivery service was instituted.
