Letter from Timothy L. Woodruff to Theodore Roosevelt
Timothy L. Woodruff updates President Roosevelt on the state of the election in Livingston County, New York. Woodruff believes that people there are likely to vote against Governor Charles Evans Hughes because he twice attempted to remove Superintendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey from office. A lack of votes for Hughes could hurt the prospects of James Wolcott Wadsworth, a young rising star in the state party. In a postscript, Woodruff says he spoke with Kelsey on the telephone, and Kelsey is going to go to Livingston County to urge his friends and supporters to vote for Hughes.
