Letter from Timothy L. Woodruff to William Loeb

Letter from Timothy L. Woodruff to William Loeb

New York State Republican Committee Chairman Woodruff updates William Loeb on the campaigns of Fifth Assembly District Leader Robert A. Sharkey and of Senator Eugene Mabbett Travis for control of the Eleventh Assembly District in New York. Woodruff feels he can neither support not speak out against Governor Charles Evans Hughes at this time, and he is worried Stevens’s victory in Niagara will encourage those hostile to President Roosevelt. He assesses other district candidates and their potential to have a positive impact. Although he knows Loeb may not be able to help directly, he appeals to him for aid if possible.

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Charles S. Hawkins

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Charles S. Hawkins

Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary suggests that Charles S. Hawkins should look to Roosevelt’s speeches to understand his stance against President Taft and his preference towards a Progressive party where people over bosses have a voice. The writer takes issue with Hawkins’s statement that Pennsylvania’s vote ought not to count due to the political boss conditions there, pointing out that since then, votes have taken place elsewhere with similar outcomes against Taft.
