John Barrett is touring the West Coast before traveling abroad and submits a few reflections on the political situation in this area; particularly California, Oregon, and Washington. Barrett points out his opinion that President Roosevelt is much more popular than the Republican Party on the West Coast, which is “rent into warring factions.” Barrett believes that the appointment of a western member to Roosevelt’s cabinet would be a positive step.
