Senator Lodge updates President Roosevelt about his son Theodore “Ted” Roosevelt and his arrest and upcoming trial, commenting that because Ted is the President’s son that he is “natural prey for yellow newspapers and adventurers like Moran.” Lodge believes Ted’s lawyer, Francis Reginald Bangs, is taking good care of the young men and that Police Commissioner Stephen O’Meara did not realize his men had struck Ted. Lodge further discusses whether the labor unions will support the Democratic candidates in the upcoming elections in New York and Massachusetts.
