President Roosevelt relays to Senator Lodge a telegram from Ward (probably William L. Ward, member of the Republican National Committee). The telegram states that William Jennings Bryan intends to do another tour through Ohio, and that the situation there, especially in Toledo and Cleveland, needs to be strengthened. Representative William S. Bennet requests that Lodge speak in Cleveland, Toledo, and Buffalo, as he is not needed in Massachusetts.
