Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for his letter. He approves of the selection of Lieutenant Governor Higgins as the Republican nominee for New York State Governor. He goes on to explain why he thinks D. Cady Herrick is a poor choice for the Democratic nominee and to speculate on who the papers will endorse. He asks Roosevelt’s opinion on two other matters, the appointment of a new Commander of the North American Squadron, and a letter he has received from George Mayer on the need to build a new Customs House and expand the size of the Appraisers Department.
