President Roosevelt is “at work upsetting the Treasury about the frame business.” He liked Senator Lodge’s statement in response to Culbertson’s Panama “‘bomb,'” and disparages the newspapers for misconstruing the meaning of statements made a year before about the treaty ratification. Roosevelt also appreciated Lodge’s quote in support of him in McClure’s, and thought it sounded better than former President Cleveland’s endorsement of Alton B. Parker.
