Lincoln Steffens informs William Loeb that since Grover Cleveland has agreed to be the writer for one side, they cannot pick a regular journalist to write the other piece. He hopes that Elihu Root will agree to write the article and suggests that Senator William P. Frye could be an alternative if Root is not able to do so. Steffens notes that only Root or Secretary of State John Hay would carry the same weight as Cleveland.
