Senator Lodge describes his work in getting an agreement in place for a bill in the the Massachusetts State Legislature regarding the merger of the Boston & Main Railroad and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad. Lodge says he believes it is a good bill, but the difficulties created by moving stocks between railroads causes him to lose his temper. In another matter, Lodge asks Roosevelt if it is possible to have a detective or Secret Service agents investigate two men who have been making false statements about the Brownsville Affair.
