Curtis Guild conveyed to the Naval and Military Order of the Spanish-American War that Theodore Roosevelt could not attend the event. Guild discusses the progress he was able to make against monopolies in Boston before he leaves for Russia, including ensuring bills “enforcing the immediate electrification of the Boston terminals,” protecting savings banks, and overseeing that the waterfront of Boston “is to be controlled by the people and not owned by the railroad monopoly.”
