Senator Lodge believes nothing more can be done on President Roosevelt’s part in Representative Augustus Peabody Gardner’s campaign. Roosevelt has no need to worry because the newspapers are printing inaccurate accounts that are not believable. Lodge requests that Roosevelt seriously consider appointing the Atlantic Fleet’s second in command to operate the fleet in the event of Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans’s retirement.
