Senator Lodge discusses appointing a commander to the Second Battleship Squadron, and asks that President Roosevelt not make any decisions until he is able to talk with him. Secretary of the Navy William H. Moody had promised command to Rear Admiral C. H. Davis, but it now seems that he will not be given this position. Lodge believes Roosevelt will win a great victory at the upcoming election.
