Roosevelt Split Dominates Taft Support In Early Party Polls
In a sweeping take on party sentiment, reports show strong Taft backing among conservatives, with Roosevelt’s policies dividing opinion across western strongholds. States like California, Nevada, and Oregon reflect split views on forest reserves and Japanese policy, while Taft gains permission in the Midwest and plains. Provisional presidential commentary notes calls for a conservative candidate to advance Roosevelt’s policies, with Washington state voices favoring Taft or Hughes. The piece also notes the upcoming International Tuberculosis Congress and physician Dr Lawrence Flick’s invitation to meet in Washington.
