John A. Sleicher discusses the upcoming New York gubernatorial election, telling President Roosevelt that “the tide is still running strongly” toward Charles Evans Hughes, but William Randolph Hearst plans to “flood the rural districts with money.” Sleicher also informs Roosevelt that Hearst’s editor Arthur Brisbane does not want Hearst elected to the governorship, because he believes Hearst should “devote himself to his propaganda for the elevation of the masses.” Sleicher still does not believe that Hughes will be defeated. He also notes that he is glad Secretary of State Elihu Root will speak in New York and that former Governor Frank Swett Black is involved, and he hopes Secretary of War William H. Taft will also be able to speak.
