Elihu Root has advised President Roosevelt that it might not be wise to have the reception for the Republican Club on July 1, or perhaps to have it at all. Roosevelt asks William Murphy if it would hurt “the boys'” feelings to cancel the reception altogether. If the election goes well, Roosevelt would be happy to have a reception and dinner and give a speech. However, if necessary, Roosevelt agrees to stop by a reception when he is back in Washington, without giving a speech. Roosevelt asks Murphy to speak to Root about the suggestion.
