Senator Lodge encloses an article from the Boston Globe which gives an account of a speech he gave advocating for the Navy. He also encloses a second article which he says misrepresents his speech. That article reports that Secretary of the Navy Victor Howard Metcalf denounced Lodge’s views. Lodge also complains about the speeches that Comptroller of the Currency Lawrence O. Murray has been making, which are spreading unnecessary fear and helping William Jennings Bryan’s argument about national banks.
