Frederick William Holls asked two things of Governor Roosevelt. First, he wants Roosevelt to attend a lunch in honor of Lord Pauncefote at Columbia University. Second, to meet him privately to discuss the upcoming party convention in Philadelphia and the nomination process. Several names have been presented and Holls thinks that although John Long is the best candidate, he would lose Maryland for the Republicans, and repel Germans because of his views on temperance.
