President Roosevelt wishes he could be in San Francisco in May, but does not think it will be possible as it will be near the end of the Congressional session. He does not believe that it will be possible for Secretary of State Elihu Root to attend either, but he has already arranged for Secretary of the Navy Victor Howard Metcalf to be present, and he believes he is the appropriate man to be there as his representative. Roosevelt praises San Francisco for having gotten rid of much of its corruption and electing a good city government.
