The Roosevelt camp claims a popular expression on presidential candidate choice, but Taft has shown openness to primaries and fair votes. Massachusetts passes a presidential preference law, boosting Taft prospects as campaign officials note broader support across New England.
A Washington report notes Roosevelt’s campaign enjoys ample funds from a wealthy backers network. Millionaires and magnates like Alexander Revell, Truman Newberry, Gifford Pinchot, Amos Pinchot, and Cecil Lyon support the effort. The Roosevelt camp boasts strong financial backing with major donors and lenders ready to contribute substantial cash.
Senator Dixon of Montana, Roosevelt campaign manager in the third term fight, is cited as a prime example of political flip flopping. The piece recalls Taft stops in Montana with Dixon pledging loyalty before Roosevelt’s third term announcement. It notes predictions Dixon would lose re election and links Roosevelters’ support to risk and gain.
Wyoming Governor Carey finally backed Roosevelt for a third term drawing local criticism. Supporters fear Roosevelt reelection would restore Pinchot influence and position in the cabinet, a shift seen as damaging to Wyoming’s progress.
President Taft urges Congress to create a nine member presidentially appointed commission to study labor disputes and employer worker relations. The Hughes bill would require periodic reports and a final three year review addressing wages unions strikes and methods to prevent industrial conflicts.
Roosevelt faces shrinking support as Missouri Governor Hadley’s plan to split the delegation between Taft and Roosevelt is seen by Taft allies as a defeat signal. Senator Borah’s Columbus speech stance dampens promotion of Roosevelt, with Borah calling recall of judicial decisions “bosh.”
