Senator Lodge sends President Roosevelt a copy of the speech he recently delivered to the Central Labor Union of Boston, to great applause. He discusses a proposed shipping agreement that he believes the government should accept, as this would support American shipping interests. Lodge is sorry to see the current Chinese Ambassador leave and finds his replacement burdensome and impertinent. He strongly disagrees with the conduct of E. B. Whitney in both political and business affairs, but thinks he has the support of a corrupt press. Lodge will send Roosevelt a copy of his convention speech.
