President Roosevelt tells Senator Lodge that he is not worried about any discontent about George B. Cortelyou being chairman of the Republican National Committee, and he believes that he will manage the canvass without any problems. Remarking on the upcoming presidential election, Roosevelt says that if he wins, it will be because people believe he is straightforward, decent, and efficient. He agrees that there could be a problem with the labor situation, but they can not do much of anything about that now. He praises Lodge’s platform, and asks that he have a talk with Cortelyou.
