President Roosevelt is distressed at how Representative Burleigh F. Spalding interpreted his statements. What Roosevelt feels and what he is willing to express for quotation regarding the action of the Republican National Convention are different. He must weigh a variety of interests on the party’s tariff plank and wants his public statements to be in line with Republican policy. Roosevelt’s view on the tariff can be ascertained by a meeting with Winthrop Murray Crane or Elihu Root.
