Other topics discussed in this clipping include ideals of character, peace, Uncle Sam, and measles.

President Roosevelt is amused at some of the political attacks against him. He agrees to Senator Lodge’s suggestions for personnel changes in the Spanish Treaty Claims Commission, but is unsure how to handle the “whisky business” regarding the Pure Food and Drug Act. Roosevelt is facing a number of requests that he run for reelection, but is not concerned with what most people think.

William E. Chandler asks William Loeb if it is possible for Henry K. Daugherty to retire from the Spanish Treaty Claims Commission within the next month or so. Otherwise, Chandler plans to leave himself. Chandler notes how long he has served on the commission and that Daugherty cannot be the “impartial umpire” between the two sides of the commission. Chandler hopes the mistake of selecting Daugherty can be corrected with “due regard” to his feelings.

Senator Lodge is glad President Roosevelt approves of his statements at Malden and that they agree on Clifford Anderson Lanier’s comments. Louis Curtis recently expressed a positive outlook on Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou’s policies regarding stock speculation. Lodge touches on the difficulty with Henry K. Daugherty, the whiskey blenders, and the Standard Oil letters before discussing his feelings on Roosevelt’s term of office. Although he feels Roosevelt must stick to his word, Lodge wishes Roosevelt could run again and continue his service to the country. Lodge assesses support for Secretary of War William H. Taft, especially in relation to Governor Charles Evans Hughes.
