Letter from Henry Cabot Lodge to Theodore Roosevelt

Senator Lodge is glad to hear from Commissioner Roosevelt that his note to Mrs. West Roosevelt pleased her. Lodge is also glad Roosevelt likes reading works of Gustave Le Bon. From his experience seeing socialism in Europe last summer, Lodge understands why men in Europe are carried away by fear of it. The best thing Lodge likes about Le Bon is what he said in regard to races. It was the best exposition of about races that he has come across anywhere. Lodge informs Roosevelt that Eliot’s speech did not go well at the peace meeting. Eliot declared that their misfortunes were because of having men in the Cabinet who were taken from the bar without training in public affairs. It seems to Lodge that people like Eliot are always against having politicians in office and it appears they are against having people without political training in office. Supposedly, the result would be a government by college professors, giving Lodge a pleasing picture.
