President Roosevelt does not think that the incident with the papers that Representative Longworth wrote him about was his fault. Roosevelt tells his son-in-law about a time when a paper invented a quote from him stating that he would rather vote for a ticket of drunkards than a ticket of prohibitionists. Even after Roosevelt said it was a “lie out of the whole cloth,” the statement was quoted at prohibition meetings. Roosevelt believes that William H. Taft will be elected, but that the popular vote will be less than it was four years ago.

President Roosevelt heartily approves of Representative Longworth’s speech and hopes it will be distributed widely. Roosevelt is pleased that his fight for the nomination of New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes paid off, but he is disappointed in the way William H. Taft’s campaign is going, and lists a few of the men he thinks could be responsible. He is anxious to see Taft show more investment and take a swing at Ohio Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, but he does not want to steal the spotlight by interfering too much.

Theodore Roosevelt tells his son-in-law, Representative Nicholas Longworth, that he is not sure how to answer the question Representative Augustus Peabody Gardner put to him regarding testifying in front of the Steel Corporation Investigating Committee. While President William H. Taft has urged Roosevelt to decline to be interviewed, Roosevelt thinks that though he will not volunteer to go, if asked he would comply.
