President Roosevelt recounts the recent Congressional election wins across the country. He applauds the replacement of some Republican leaders in New York and Idaho. He is glad several border states near the South have also done well. Roosevelt and his wife Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt are heading to Panama soon. Their son Ted has come home from Harvard after six weeks there and seems to be “deprest.” He cannot play football on account of his leg and is not popular among his classmates due to his arrest, but he appears to be doing well in his studies.
