J. Horace McFarland contradicts a recent statement by Theodore Roosevelt, saying that he both does “have influence, and ought to have influence,” and cannot divest himself of it. McFarland spoke with Senator Elihu Root recently about a treaty concerning Niagara Falls, and has found that Root plans to stick to the text of the treaty regardless of is effect on the waterfall. McFarland expresses his concern about several other legislative topics, and feels that the American Civic Association may need Roosevelt’s help in the future.
