President Roosevelt finds Senator Chandler’s advice, to be nice to the plutocrats who have come around about his stance on the Anthracite Coal Strike, “delicious.” Roosevelt has “nothing whatever to take back or apologize for” regarding his stance. Roosevelt has referred the matter of Mr. Robinson’s appointment to George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican National Committee, who will take it up after the election.
