Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to T. Jefferson Coolidge

President Roosevelt comments to T. Jefferson Coolidge on the nomination of William H. Taft as Republican candidate for president. Roosevelt is glad to hear that Coolidge supports Taft’s nomination, but is sorry to say that he believes that the forces who oppose Taft will go to great measures to deny him the nomination. He thinks that the anti-Taft forces will particularly try to control Southern delegates. Joseph Benson Foraker has appealed to Judson Whitlocke Lyons, the National Committeeman from Georgia, using the Brownsville incident. Roosevelt asks Coolidge if he could use his connections to appeal to Lyons’s friends to ask Lyons to stand honorably on the questions.
