Senator Lodge is glad to hear President Roosevelt’s outlook on the upcoming elections. He has heard from Thomas J. Akins in Missouri that the Republicans have a good chance of carrying that state. Lodge also feels that New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes’s speeches out West have been helping the ticket. William Sturgis Bigelow has not acknowledged Roosevelt’s letter because the coin has not arrived yet. Lodge also discusses the situation in Europe. He warns Roosevelt that if Jeremiah J. McCarthy, Surveyor of the Port of Boston, appeals to him to appoint a Deputy Surveyor, he should get the facts from Reynolds before acting.
