Myers was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1892, 1896, and 1900 and was instrumental in the development of the McKinley-Hanna organization and in the election of Hanna to the United States Senate. During the 1920s, Myers adopted a new tone of militancy in racial matters. The collection consists of correspondence between Myers and James Ford Rhodes, businessman and historian.
