Senator Lodge did not intend to cause an inconvenience for President Roosevelt by sending his previous letter. He agrees with Secretary of State Elihu Root that Roosevelt should not write any more letters about the current campaign, and especially not letters regarding William Randolph Hearst or John B. Moran. Lodge explains his motivation for sending his previous letter. He remarks that much has been said about the dangers of capitalists and corporations, but demagogues will have to be addressed eventually. He does not want Roosevelt to take any action, but simply wanted to let him know his thoughts.
