President Roosevelt thanks General Sickles for his speech and work on the campaign. Roosevelt is concerned that Maine will not do as well as Vermont in the election, knowing its history of voting differently than the rest of the country. He is also concerned that the debate over prohibition will impact the vote in Maine. On a hopeful note, Roosevelt is optimistic about his chances in Missouri because of their success in Arkansas.
