President Roosevelt has enjoyed his trip, but is glad to begin his return home tomorrow. Grover Cleveland has a good deal of support as a potential Democratic nominee in the 1904 presidential election, but Roosevelt believes that he will “drive certain Democrats away” if nominated. Senator Hanna is “showing his hand” as an opponent to Roosevelt’s nomination, although Roosevelt believes his reasons for doing so are nonsense.
