Lucius B. Swift conveys a request from Chinese Vice-Consul Kee Owyang to meet with Theodore Roosevelt for a few minutes when he visits San Francisco. Since the election in which John Worth Kern was elected Senator from Indiana rather than Albert J. Beveridge, Swift has considered it prudent to bide his time. He believes Beveridge would have been elected “except for the liquor people, who would sacrifice anything in order to sell more beer.”
