Letter from Seth Bullock to William Loeb

Seth Bullock updates William Loeb on the political situation in South Dakota. Deadwood bankers and businessmen Harris and Nathan E. Franklin are against the President, which is evidence that New York backs the reelection campaign of Governor Charles Evans Hughes. Despite the Franklins’ opposition to Roosevelt, the political situation in the South Dakota is stable, and Bullock expects Republicans in the state to be re-elected.
