Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Willis W. Russell

Letter from Secretary of Theodore Roosevelt to Willis W. Russell

Theodore Roosevelt’s secretary has no knowledge of Mr. Berg’s complaint that he was “steam rollered” by Governor Timothy L. Woodruff in Kings County, New York. He advises that if the Progressives in Kings County want Mr. Berg, they can vote down Woodruff. However, the majority of Kings County Progressives support Woodruff, and the secretary therefore suggests that Berg get behind Woodruff and work along with him.

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert W. Collingwood

Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Herbert W. Collingwood

President Roosevelt describes the very bitter communication he has received both for and against the re-nomination of Charles Evans Hughes for Governor of New York to Herbert W. Collingwood. Apparently, many in the New York Republican Party machine feel Hughes has been rude to them, but Roosevelt has also had a letter from a state representative from Western New York, from a rural district made up mostly of farmers, that also says it would be too much of a risk to re-nominate Hughes, and Roosevelt finds this very puzzling. Roosevelt feels it is not advisable for him to become involved.
