President Roosevelt tells Major General Wood that if the senators wish to change the arrangement they made with him regarding military promotions, they would have to come see him themselves. Should they do so, Roosevelt would have to act on the promotion of a number of figures, not only Colonel Hugh Lenox Scott. At the moment, however, the senators do not seem to wish to change anything.
