Letter from Arthur I. Vorys to William Loeb

Letter from Arthur I. Vorys to William Loeb

Arthur I. Vorys is glad that William Loeb thinks the “Illinois matter” can be worked out. Vorys includes his thoughts on the Wisconsin situation and believes that a fight against Wisconsin Senator Robert M. La Follette will capture a majority of the delegates as Governor James O. Davidson and Senator Isaac Stephenson will not support him. One poll suggests that 40 percent of Republicans in Wisconsin favor William H. Taft as their first choice, making it an important state to win. Vorys concludes by updating Loeb about Alaska.
