President Roosevelt tells Judge George C. Holt that he and Secretary of State Elihu Root agreed with the judge’s recent petition, but he is not certain that he will be able to “accomplish anything or not in the direction desired.” Roosevelt notes that the Senate is not always looking to help the president accomplish his goals, and often “can help a cause best” by saying little about it in public.
