President Roosevelt has received Senator Lodge’s letter and says that if Surveyor of the Port of Boston Jeremiah J. McCarthy appeals to him, he will reach out to Mr. Reynolds. Roosevelt discusses the presidential campaign and notes that New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes has been useful in the West, but it will be a challenge to “pull him through” in New York. However, if William H. Taft’s majority is big enough, it will happen. He discusses the Republican prospects in several states.
