President Roosevelt tells Senator Lodge that his chief difficulty at the moment is “the labor situation in Colorado.” Some people have demanded that Roosevelt interfere. Roosevelt is happy with the party platform, with the exception of the suffrage plank. He does not think this can become a reality. Roosevelt would like Lodge to read through Secretary of War William H. Taft’s speech on the “Philippine business.”
