With delight, President Roosevelt shares with Senator Lodge the newspaper account of a riot in Brownfield, Texas, over the erection of a Roosevelt statue. He is glad for the invitation from George Nathaniel Curzon, the Chancellor of Oxford, to present the Romanes lecture on his return from Africa. It is an honor, and it gives him a legitimate reason for visiting England. The matter of renominating Governor Charles Evans Hughes grows worse, and Roosevelt worries about the impact it may have on William H. Taft’s election.
