Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John A. Sleicher

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to John A. Sleicher

President Roosevelt believes that the statement that John A. Sleicher suggested would be better coming from William H. Taft than from himself. However, he has privately been saying it to people who see him, and gives Sleicher permission to print that he has “repeatedly made the statement to callers who came in to see him.” A letter from John Appleton Stewart of the League of Republican Clubs has made Roosevelt think that the tide is turning in favor of Charles Evans Hughes.

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

Letter from William H. Taft to Theodore Roosevelt

William H. Taft writes to President Roosevelt that he is glad Governor Charles Evans Hughes will be nominated, and to even out the ticket he suggests Job Hedges for Attorney General. Taft agrees to “take the stump” as it will enliven the Republican party. William Jennings Bryan will gain momentum while traveling the East, but Taft believes this will only alarm and mobilize Republicans to action. He recently had a lovely dinner with Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Nicholas Longworth, who will soon go on to stump with Representative J. S. Sherman.
