Letter from Richard W. Austin to William Loeb

Letter from Richard W. Austin to William Loeb

Richard W. Austin writes to William Loeb to tell him about some of his activities related to the upcoming election. Austin addressed a large crowd at Jacksboro, Tennessee, launching his personal congressional campaign. He also organized a club in support of Secretary of War William H. Taft’s presidential bid. He has encouraged the formation of further clubs in the state. Other Tennessee politicians have announced that President Theodore Roosevelt would accept re-nomination, or have mentioned a possible candidacy of Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou. Austin advises against listening to Nathan W. Hale, Edward Terry Sanford, and Robert S. Sharp in their attempt to have President Roosevelt influence Assistant Attorney General Sanford to become a candidate for Governor, as it would not be in the interest of the Republican party, and the President should not intervene in a local contest.
