Theodore Roosevelt will be pleased to read Senator Lodge’s speech on the referendum and initiative but he hopes that Lodge does not treat these measures as “supremely important.” Roosevelt believes that these measures can be beneficial but also harmful, and that they have been falsely portrayed by their advocates as a “panacea for everything.” Gilson Gardner and Ray Stannard Baker have just visited Roosevelt on behalf of the La Follette campaign and requested that he publicly announce that he would refuse the presidential nomination if offered. Roosevelt does not want the nomination but refused to make a statement. He and Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt will soon be celebrating their silver wedding anniversary and an article by Kermit Roosevelt will be appearing in Scribner’s Magazine.

Senator Lodge is comfortable with states experimenting with the initiative and referendum but believes that this would be dangerous for the United States. If voters cannot select decent representatives they will certainly not be able to “legislate intelligently.” He is also concerned about the recall of judges and views the independent court as “essential to freedom.” Lodge agrees with Theodore Roosevelt’s refusal to publicly announce that he would not accept the presidential nomination. He sends his best wishes for Roosevelt’s silver wedding anniversary and will read Kermit Roosevelt’s article with great interest.
