Lieutenant Governor Guild explains to President Roosevelt why he believes an inquiry into child labor instituted by the president would be more effective than one from the legislature. Guild also apologizes for troubling Roosevelt in the matter of General Miles’ appointment to lead the Massachusetts State Militia through the army appropriations bill. Guild believes that Senator Lodge handled the situation well and will continue to defend Roosevelt.
