Theodore Roosevelt praises Nicholas Longworth on the capital speech and extraordinary figures, which he will see if he can use. Roosevelt thinks they make a startling indictment of the good faith of President Wilson and his supporters. Roosevelt also shares a humorous story about receiving a Christmas letter along with a Navy Department calendar from Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, “that preposterous old grape-juice gentleman,” despite the fact that Roosevelt has attacked Daniels as strongly as he has attacked Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
