President Roosevelt asks Senator Lodge about rumors that he has heard concerning several planks in the Republican Party’s platform. Roosevelt thinks that omitting references to postal savings banks and injunctions would not be favorable. He also informs Lodge that he has heard protests against J. S. Sherman being nominated as the Vice Presidential candidate. William H. Taft thinks that discussion of the candidate for Vice President can be postponed until after the platform is adopted and the Presidential nominee selected.
