President Roosevelt is reluctant to send any of his cabinet members to speak, but will do so for Timothy L. Woodruff, as he is “entitled” to ask. Roosevelt says he will send Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw or Attorney General William H. Moody, but is unable to send Secretary of State John Hay or Secretary of War William H. Taft.
