Seth Low spoke with president-elect William H. Taft after leaving President Roosevelt, and reports that Taft believes that the bill should be presented once Low is satisfied with the form, as more discussion of the issue is a good thing. Taft agrees with Roosevelt in thinking that no action will be taken on the bill, but hopes that the conversation will be beneficial. Low believes that in order to get serious discussion on the bill, it should be presented as soon as possible, and proposes a method of introducing it. Low asks Roosevelt if he could confirm that, while not actively favoring the bill, he will not oppose it so that the bill can move through its committee.
