Senator Lodge returns Mr. Van Kleeck’s letter regarding the involvement of federal office holders in the recent selection of a Senator from Colorado. He argues that the factions supporting Edward Oliver Wolcott and Philip Battell Stewart “tore the state apart,” but holds out hope that the state can be carried in the 1904 elections because both Republican factions support President Roosevelt. Lodge further compliments Roosevelt on his choices for the Alaskan Boundary Commission, mentions his recent work with Senator Aldrich on the Philippine currency bill, and suggests steps to push the bill through the House.
