Gifford Pinchot provides a forecast to Theodore Roosevelt on an upcoming vote in the United States Senate on the issue of selective service. Henry Cabot Lodge believes that James Wolcott Wadsworth will “vote right” and that only Robert M. La Follette and Asle J. Gronna among the Republicans will fail to do so. The Harding Amendment is expected to pass. Pinchot is trying to arrange a voice for Roosevelt with Jean Jules Jusserand and Joseph Joffre, French officials consulting with Congress on the incorporation of American forces into the war. Lastly, Pinchot is glad that Roosevelt spoke out against the brewers and distillers, as grain is needed for the war effort.
