Letter from Oscar R. Hundley to William Loeb

Letter from Oscar R. Hundley to William Loeb

Oscar R. Hundley appreciates the opportunity to write frankly to William Loeb, and says that he does not have any intention of giving Charles H. Scott a recommendation. Scott was elected as a delegate to the Alabama state convention by both administration and anti-administration forces, and chose to attend the anti-administration convention in spite of the work done for him by the administration forces to elect him national committeeman. Hundley also talks about his conflict with Judge Thomas Goode Jones, and how this relates to the proceedings of the anti-administration forces in Alabama.

Letter from Joseph O. Thompson to William Loeb

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.
