Theodore Roosevelt is glad that Henry Cabot Lodge “slashed into Dana,” regarding Richard H. Dana’s advocacy of a civil service reform measure that would principally affect Washington, D.C. Roosevelt also compliments Lodge for his latest speech and believes they have to “openly attack” the militia if they continue to let themselves be misrepresented.
