Senator Lodge thanks President Roosevelt for his letter of May 15 and apologizes for making Roosevelt read so much of his poor handwriting. Lodge praises Roosevelt’s speech that he gave in Chicago. He suggests that labor unions are more dangerous than capitalists because the labor unions control more votes. Lodge mentions several political issues, including the continuing unrest over laborers from Japan, possible charges against Assistant Secretary of State Francis B. Loomis, the appointment of Charles J. Bonaparte as Attorney General, as well as international relations. Lodge also gives some details of his trip to Italy.
