Senator Lodge tells President Roosevelt that his last letter was about Ohio and written from Ohio. In response to Hannibal L. Hamlin’s concerns about William H. Taft being a Unitarian, Lodge believes it will not be an issue in Massachusetts. The people there are familiar with Unitarians, and the Unitarians are strong and influential. Hamlin also believes that the Independence League may poll up to 100,000 votes, but even that would give Taft a large plurality. Lodge believes that Hamlin does not understand what the votes mean.
