Senator Lodge has received the letter which President Roosevelt wrote to Judge Alston Gordon Dayton, which he has instructed Lodge and Chairman of the Republican Committee Frank H. Hitchcock to show to delegates if necessary. Lodge does not believe it will be necessary. Lodge discusses the nomination for the Vice-Presidency. Although he believes that the candidate should be from New York, he is obligated to nominate Massachusetts Governor Curtis Guild. In a handwritten postscript, Lodge writes that he feels sorry for Guild and will do his best for him. He also read about Roosevelt’s fall in the paper, and is glad that no harm was done.
