Senator Lodge refers to the Ohio intrigue over the state Republican Party’s resolution to nominate President Roosevelt as their candidate in 1904. The situation pitted Senator Foraker against Senator Hanna and Hanna lost face. Lodge comments on business men and Wall Street people who support Roosevelt, but he also discusses the fears of others who believe Roosevelt sides with labor and wants to destroy businesses like the railroad system. Lodge also mentions concerns about the Post Office sandal.
