Theodore Roosevelt asks his son-in-law Representative Nicholas Longworth to host a dinner and invite Henry Cabot Lodge, William Loeb, George E. Chamberlain, and King. Roosevelt does not want it to seem that he is trying to make up to “the bosses,” so he wants to see Senator Chamberlain first since he is fighting for his bill. He thanks Longworth for the criticism of his article.
