President Roosevelt appreciated Ambassador Reid’s speech on Edmund Burke, which he read twice. Roosevelt is very pleased with the election result. He notes that typically the president’s party is voted out of power following a panic, but this year, the American people still voted for William H. Taft. Although Taft’s electoral and popular vote will not equal Roosevelt’s, it is bigger than William McKinley’s.
