Hon Timothy L. Woodruff
Chairman State Com
Dear Sir
Your letter received and pleased to hear from you. I enclose clipping from Buffalo Courier. Gov. Hughes will be "showed up" from now on. Republicans openly state they will not vote for Hughes. If he runs as an independent I believe he would poll a very small vote, and at the worst, the republican party would be better off with a democrat Governor.
Yours Very Truly
