Frederic Jesup Stimson informs President Roosevelt that all the men at Harvard College with whom he has conferred agree that Roosevelt’s son Theodore Roosevelt, has behaved well. Stimson thinks that District Attorney John B. Moran dragging his son before a grand jury is a political stunt. Stimson plans to vote the straight Republican ticket. He also commends Roosevelt, Secretary of War William H. Taft, and Attorney General William H. Moody for the work they have been doing. Stimson regrets missing Moody in Boston, and thinks it is too bad that Moody cannot become a Supreme Court justice.
