Frank Basil Tracy wants the facts regarding Theodore Roosevelt’s alleged interest in the “Taft boom” and encloses a dispatch, editorial, and clipping on the matter. He regrets Roosevelt cannot listen to Senator Henry Cabot Lodge’s speech that night, especially as he cannot see how Lodge will be defeated. Tracy regards Henry M. Whitney as “about as rotten a man as there is in the State of Massachusetts.”
