Roosevelt Demands Price for Taft Break With Sherman
New York Aug 19 The New York Times reports Col Theodore Roosevelt claims a break between President Taft and Vice President Sherman is the price Rex Roosevelt would demand to close the breach. He and allies accuse Sherman of planning the coup at the Republican State Committee meeting and misleading Taft during a Beverly visit. Roosevelt may skip the state convention if attendance would split party support, while Longworth’s Sagamore Hill visit adds political tension.
