Roosevelt and Taft Meet as 1912 Shadow Looms Over NY Fight
In New Haven and on Taft's train, President Taft and Col Roosevelt held a hurried conference to discuss New York State politics. Taft stood by his August letter favoring direct primaries for Congress and state offices, while Roosevelt sought moral support amid the Roosevelt faction's clashes with the old guard. No decision on 1912 national aims emerged, and the meeting yielded no clear pact.
