Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of War Taft agrees with President Roosevelt on Senator Henry Cabot Lodge’s speech and on the negative press from the New York papers. He describes his trip thus far and makes predictions about his success based on what he has been told. In light of the gerrymandering involving Oklahoma Governor Charles Nathaniel Haskell, Taft asks Roosevelt to help defeat an inadequate constitution in Oklahoma. Taft has asked Joseph L. Bristow to form another report on Panama, and he mentions an editor named Joseph Ralph Burton who has been attacking Roosevelt. Taft discusses the political campaigns and conflicts in the states he is passing through, in particular the political campaigns in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Denver. Taft’s mother Louise Maria Torrey Taft is recovering, and although the trip has been exhausting, Taft has a few days of rest ahead.

After consulting with political leaders in St. Louis, Missouri, Governor Hadley believes that Theodore Roosevelt should make a public statement regarding his views on accepting the Republican presidential nomination within ten days.

Stories are circulating that Roosevelt will not accept the nomination and many “timid souls” hesitate to offer support until Roosevelt’s candidacy is confirmed. There will be a meeting in Chicago, Illinois, on February 10 of Roosevelt supporters and Hadley suggests that they make a statement declaring that a majority of Republican voters favor Roosevelt’s candidacy.
