President Roosevelt writes an “egotistic letter” to Anna Cabot Mills Lodge about the election. He was overwhelmed by the election results, especially because they demonstrated the impotence of the Evening Post and other New York journalists Roosevelt dislikes. He intends to spend his next four years in appreciation to the American people. The president was, however, disappointed by the defeat of Governor John Lewis Bates in Massachusetts and Senator Francis Marion Cockrell in Missouri, whom he considers the best Senator in the Democratic Party. Roosevelt himself was prepared for defeat during the past two weeks, which were quite trying for him and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt.
