William H. Taft writes to President Roosevelt that he is not sure what effect Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker’s actions will have on the Republican party, and his conciliatory attitude toward Taft is clearly motivated by a potential run for Senate. Taft feels George Barnsdale Cox and his associates are attempting to make him look bad, and he will not risk his position over it. Taft has been writing speeches and an article tackling his beliefs on tariffs. The public wants real change, and there will be less difficulty achieving it than there would have been with the last Congress. Chairman of the Republican National Committee Frank H. Hitchcock is succeeding, but those with Taft despise him and it creates difficulty. Taft has informed New York Republican State Committee treasurer George Rumsey Sheldon not to take money from trust affiliates. Taft updates Roosevelt on his health and his upcoming campaign.
