President Roosevelt will discuss postal matters with Postmaster General Payne upon his return and advises against releasing any more statements. Roosevelt regrets Senator Hanna’s action at the Ohio Convention. If Hanna supports Roosevelt “there could be no possible objection to his saying so.” The trip has been great, but Roosevelt is anxious to have his “hands on the levers once more.”
