Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to William H. Taft

President Roosevelt passes on a selection from Commissioner of Labor Charles Patrick Neill, suggesting that William H. Taft should not attack Samuel Gompers by name. Doing so may make labor men more likely to support Gompers. Daniel J. Keefe of the Longshoremen’s Union strongly supports Taft. Roosevelt has been speaking with Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, who says he has a plan to gain labor support in New York. Roosevelt compliments Taft on his work on the campaign trail and notes his concerns about re-electing Charles Evans Hughes as governor of New York.

Letter from Elihu Root to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from Elihu Root to Theodore Roosevelt

Secretary of State Root jokingly complains that Charles Hitchcock Sherrill will hate him after President Roosevelt’s recent letter. Root disagrees with Roosevelt’s proposed removal of around half of his ministers and secretaries who are “perfectly good men, but of no special importance.” He argues that their replacements would be similarly unremarkable, and compares Roosevelt to the Queen in Alice in Wonderland.

Letter from Timothy L. Woodruff to Theodore Roosevelt

Timothy L. Woodruff, Chairman of the New York Republican State Committee, responds to President Roosevelt’s telegram about whether Woodruff called on Roosevelt to deny a Hearst publication. Woodruff confirms that he did not publicly suggest that Roosevelt reply to the publication, but explains from where that understanding may have derived. Woodruff also attaches a telegram that generally illustrates his correspondence about Roosevelt’s endorsement for the upcoming New York Governor’s election between William Randolph Hearst and Charles Evans Hughes.
