Jams Sullivan Clarkson has been trying to protect President Roosevelt’s time by dissuading David M. Parry from meeting with him regarding the controversy in the Post Office and by encouraging Roosevelt to decline an invitation to a banquet of international insurance men. Clarkson remarks that the financial panic seems to have passed, the Democrats wish to nominate Judge Gray, the death of Judge Long was a serious matter, and that General Batcheller is in the country and can give Roosevelt valuable information about diplomatic and commercial matters in Egypt.
