President Roosevelt agrees with Elihu Root’s comments regarding corruption in New York and he is pleased that the speech will be published. The Republican Party and the country benefited from the work of Senator Hanna and his death is “very sad.” The Panama treaty appears set to pass and the cooperation with Germany on securing the neutrality of China was a success.
