Senator Lodge discusses the ongoing investigations of the Post Office scandal. He asks President Roosevelt to review a copy of a newspaper article by Walter Wellman of the Chicago Record-Herald. Lodge asserts that the publication is critical of him because of his defense of Assistant Postmaster General Robert John Wynne, who, the article seems to imply, might lose his position because of the scandal. Lodge describes having met the president’s wife and sister when he spoke at the Groton School. Lodge also refers to the Ohio intrigue over the state Republican Party’s resolution to nominate President Roosevelt as their candidate in 1904. It pitted Senator Foraker against Senator Hanna.
