President Roosevelt discusses his thoughts about the results of the previous day’s elections with Senator Lodge, particularly his delight at the defeat of Democratic nominee for Governor of Massachusetts Henry Melville Whitney. Roosevelt is also pleased with wins in Kentucky but saddened by losses in New Jersey and Cleveland. In New York, Roosevelt is angered that Representative Herbert Parsons, who he thinks is a good man, has made an alliance with William Randolph Hearst and Standard Oil.
