Senator Lodge is sorry that President Roosevelt has reached the time of life where physical exercise has ceased to be a rest. Lodge thinks that if William Randolph Hearst runs in any way in New York, the Republican party will be able to carry the state. The political situation in Massachusetts has revived Lodge’s hopes of retaining control of the House. The reciprocity revision movement appears less militant than last year, and higher wages in the cotton and wool industries has weakened agitation against Republicans on behalf of changing the tariff. Lodge thinks the unknown quantity in the Congressional elections is the labor vote under the direction of Samuel Gompers. Lodge agrees with Roosevelt that there is more baseless praise poured out over Thomas Jefferson than any man in our history.
