Attorney General Bonaparte received William Loeb’s confidential letter and asks him to send him a copy of the Washington Herald editorial. Bonaparte mentions that a newspaper indicated that Loeb would accept the presidency of the electric lines sooner than anticipated and looks forward to next summer in Maine if Loeb wants to “cast a line.” He finds great support for President Roosevelt in Maine and Massachusetts.
