President Roosevelt hopes that Senator Frye can see a way to act in favor of the proposed lock canal design for the Panama Canal, as Roosevelt believes that trying to construct the canal as a sea-level canal “would be a calamitous blow to the entire project.” If Frye can do this, Roosevelt asks him to telegraph Senator William B. Allison.
