Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Wolcott Wadsworth

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to James Wolcott Wadsworth

President Roosevelt’s information suggests that the charges against John A. Merritt and Archie Dovell Sanders do not warrant their removal, but he will let James Wolcott Wadsworth know if anything suggests otherwise. He congratulates Wadsworth on his work in the last election. He also assures Wadsworth that he does not take the charges and insinuations against him seriously, but that he cannot appear that he is championing people who oppose Governor Charles Evans Hughes.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Timothy L. Woodruff

President Roosevelt encloses a letter from Louis J. Hilliard of Groveland, New York, to Superintendent of Public Works Frederick C. Stevens. He would like Republican State Committee Chairman Woodruff to look it over, because he believes that the letter merits “drastic action” from him. Roosevelt would like the State Committee to take every possible step to ensure that the entire Republican Party ticket, especially including Charles Evans Hughes, gets “the fullest possible support” in Livingston County.

Letter from Timothy L. Woodruff to Theodore Roosevelt

Timothy L. Woodruff updates President Roosevelt on the state of the election in Livingston County, New York. Woodruff believes that people there are likely to vote against Governor Charles Evans Hughes because he twice attempted to remove Superintendent of Insurance Otto Kelsey from office. A lack of votes for Hughes could hurt the prospects of James Wolcott Wadsworth, a young rising star in the state party. In a postscript, Woodruff says he spoke with Kelsey on the telephone, and Kelsey is going to go to Livingston County to urge his friends and supporters to vote for Hughes.
