Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Frederick William Holls
Governor Roosevelt discusses nominations for political office in New York. He states that “the jig was up” when Elihu Root declined to stand and Benjamin B. Odell announced that he would accept if nominated. Roosevelt believes that they must “pull Odell through for fear of compromising the whole ticket.” He discusses his reasons for offering the vacant judgeship to Charles C. Beaman.
