Senator Lodge responds to an earlier letter from President Roosevelt. Lodge comments that there is not much of a reason to include a comment on immigration in the platform as there is currently not a demand for it, and it may do more harm than good. Lodge also discusses some of the hearings that the Interstate Commerce Commission has held, and remarks that his only concern in the upcoming election is the reduction in force by the railroads.
