Senator Lodge informs Police Commissioner Roosevelt he believes that things are improving for Roosevelt in New York because the Republican Legislature in the state cannot afford to go back on his policy. Lodge then tells Roosevelt his letter to the Harvard Crimson is a great success. Remarking on the success of Roosevelt’s letter to the Harvard Crimson, Lodge notes his amusement at Roosevelt’s use of “baboo” since he had suggested that he substitute it for “grocer,” and he predicts that “baboo” will become as popular as “cuckoo.” Lodge believes they will come out successful in Venezuela and vindicate the Monroe Doctrine.
