Senator Lodge is glad to have the information in President Roosevelt’s last letter, although he wishes the situation regarding Ohio was better. He agrees with what Roosevelt says about House Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon. In a handwritten postscript, Lodge discusses the canvass being conducted in Massachusetts, which indicates that Eben S. Draper and William H. Taft will win. If the result is indicative of national trends, Taft will carrry the same plurality as William McKinley.
