Senator Lodge found President Roosevelt’s most recent letter to be one of the strongest pieces of political writing he has read yet. Lodge is sure Massachusetts will go for William H. Taft and cannot see why other areas would not be similar. He does, however, fear that New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes could potentially be defeated. Lodge encloses his forthcoming reply, to be published in the Boston Herald, to Richard Olney’s claims about electing William Jennings Bryan. Lodge thinks Roosevelt will appreciate the Dickens quote.
