Curtis Guild relates the events of the Tavern Club’s annual Christmas festival and sends the words of a singing “gag” related to the Miles and Schley incidents. All “decent Democrats” and most of the newspapers in Boston have praised President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Root regarding the incidents. Guild wishes that Winthrop Murray Crane could have accepted the position as Secretary of the Treasury.
