James Sullivan Clarkson informs William Loeb that Secretary of State Elihu Root is “making such a splendid impression in South America.” He commends the South American ministers on their preparations for Root’s visit, suggests releasing photographs of the tour to the newspapers, and notes Uruguay’s desire to trade more with the United States and less with Germany and England. Clarkson relates his approval of the campaign finance changes proposed by President Roosevelt and speaks in detail of the Republican National Committee’s expenditures in the presidential elections of 1884, 1888, and 1892.
