Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

President Roosevelt thinks Secretary of War Taft should send the letter from former Panamanian president Tomás Arias to Secretary of State Elihu Root for review. While canal engineer John F. Stevens is admirable man, Roosevelt believes he can render himself valueless by thinking himself indispensable. Roosevelt wants to keep the party traveling to Panama a small one. He requests Taft communicate with the acting Secretary of War, as he is not pleased with the War Department’s lack of initiative concerning Cuba’s request for cartridges.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

President Roosevelt has recently spoken with a number of people regarding the Panama Canal Zone, and while he feels that Chairman of the Isthmian Canal Commission Theodore P. Shonts and Chief Engineer John F. Stevens are too hard on Governor Charles E. Magoon, it may still be best for Magoon to be reassigned elsewhere. He tells Secretary of War Taft that he is inclined for Shonts to take the role of administrator himself, as long as Taft deems such a thing wise. That being said, he also would like William Franklin Sands to be appointed minister in spite of opposition from Shonts and Stevens, as he would better be able to work with foreign governments. In a postscript, Roosevelt also refers Taft to some letters he received from Francis B. Loomis he would like him to look into, as well as an editorial he would like Stevens to comment on.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Nicholas Murray Butler

President Roosevelt tells Nicholas Murray Butler he believes Iowa Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver will “fight hard on the rate question,” but he will need to do so. Roosevelt also thinks Nebraska Senator Joseph Hopkins Millard will experience great pressure from Nebraska, but he is not a “genuine representative of the public” like Dolliver is. The president also tells Butler he found the letter from James Bronson Reynolds interesting.

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of War Taft updates President Roosevelt on the progress of his trip across the United States, as he gives speeches to help candidates in the upcoming election. Nebraska is likely to go Republican, as the prosperity there under Roosevelt’s policies has hampered William Jennings Bryan’s campaign. The person nominated for the Senate, however, is someone who Taft and Roosevelt did not wish. Public sentiment is the same as in Illinois in calling for Roosevelt’s running for president again, as his policies have been very successful. The only place Bryan may have a foothold is in Ohio. Taft thinks that William Randolph Hearst’s strength in New York has been overstated. He also informs Roosevelt about several conversations he has had with people, and about a letter he received from Gifford Pinchot.
