Washington which she thought I should know. Mr. A. H. Eastmond of Brooklyn
also called.
January 15, 1914.
Last night we went to a dinner given us by Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland H. Dodge.
Some of the other guests were Mr. and Mrs. de Forrest, Mr. Bridges, Editor of
Scribner's Magazine, Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Malone and others. George W. Perkins
was to have been there but left for Panama. Dodge was anxious for us to meet.
I asked him how much political sagacity Perkins had. He replied, "not
much if measured by you, but he has an enormous power for organization. He
organized the Morgan Company and was largely instrumental in organizing the
Roosevelt campaign last year."
Dodge was very complimentary to me. He spoke of my having greater polit-
ical sagacity than anyone in the United States; and again he spoke of me as a
statesman with much sagacity. This is generous for I cannot but feel that the
old time friends of the President must feel my intrusion.
His sister-in-law, Mrs. William Earl Dodge, cornered me to talk of the
anti-suffrage movement, of which she is the head. I was non-committal.
Washington, January 15, 1914.
We came over to Washington at 11.08. I took a drawingroom in order to
have some rest. Thad Thomson, our Minister to Columbia, met us at Baltimore
and came to Washington. He told of the negotiations between Columbia and the
United States, and complained bitterly of the lack of system with which Mr.
Bryan was conducting the affair.
We arrived more than an hour and a half late but the Postmaster Gen-
eral met us. We drove to his house, and Dr. Harvey Carroll of Texas was there
waiting to see me. After a few minutes conversation with him it was necessary
to dress for the Bryan Presidential dinner.
We reached the <del/> Bryans among the first guests. I took Mrs.
George Goethals out to dinner. Mrs. John R. Mott of New York was on my left
