President Roosevelt thanks those assembled at the executive session of the convention but says he will reserve most of his remarks for the open session. He notes that when he was governor of New York, he had to deal with a lot of professional and trade associations, but he only felt he was truly able to meet the requests of the railroad workers as they had a natural common sense. Roosevelt expresses his great satisfaction with his appointment of former Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen head Frank P. Sargent to the position of Commissioner General of Immigration.
