Lyman Abbott plans to interpret the results of the election for the readers of the Outlook, but if the results are what he expects and President Roosevelt is reelected, he does not think the interpretation will be difficult. Abbott believes the Republican party should initiate revision of the tariff. He would be pleased to visit the White House along with his son, Ernest Hamlin Abbott, any time it is convenient for Roosevelt. Abbott would like Roosevelt to talk with Ernest because he thinks Ernest understands the feeling in the South on the question of race, and believes that they need to recognize this if there is to be any progress made on the issue.
