Senator Lodge tells President Roosevelt that nothing more is expected of him regarding the bill. Representative Augustus Peabody Gardner is facing a particularly close race, especially with the mounting criticism he faces from Samuel Gompers, but he completely understands Roosevelt’s position. Organized labor is making for difficult races in New York and Massachusetts, and while Lodge believes that the Republican Party will succeed in carrying the House of Representatives, he is nervous about those two states.
