Roosevelt Denies Pledged Support In La Follette Fight
The letter from Gardnes to Houser clarifies Colonel Roosevelt did not urge Senator La Follette to run and would not endorse a candidate. Roosevelt reportedly believed La Follette could not win and warned that Taft’s renomination would rely on money and influence. He stressed he would not take sides or bind himself to any future course, and urged La Follette to pursue a campaign only if there was real hope of nomination. The note likens La Follette to an injured player rallying to stay in the game.
