Letter from Joseph O. Thompson to William Loeb
Joseph O. Thompson writes to William Loeb regarding politics in Alabama, as he did not get a chance to speak with Loeb before leaving Washington, D.C. He explains his motives for remaining aligned with Charles H. Scott, in spite of the push to break with him, because of the likely confusion it would cause at the state convention. He feels that he is acting in a way that will bring Secretary of War William H. Taft victory, and says that he will use all honorable means to bring about Taft’s success, since President Roosevelt refuses to run for another term.
