Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John A. Sleicher

President Roosevelt tells John A. Sleicher he is reluctant to appear to be a dictator or to force the nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for governor of New York. However, he has done, and will continue to do, all he can to impress upon leaders his “very strong personal judgement” that Hughes should be renominated. Doing otherwise would be a mistake.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John A. Sleicher

President Roosevelt believes that the statement that John A. Sleicher suggested would be better coming from William H. Taft than from himself. However, he has privately been saying it to people who see him, and gives Sleicher permission to print that he has “repeatedly made the statement to callers who came in to see him.” A letter from John Appleton Stewart of the League of Republican Clubs has made Roosevelt think that the tide is turning in favor of Charles Evans Hughes.
