to the President which I arranged while <del/> in Washington. We also talked of New York State conditions. John Perrin of Indianapolis, came to be looked over for the Federal Reserve Board. He differs from Perkins in as much as he is an applicant, while I sought Perkins out myself without any suggestion from anyone. Perrin knows more about banking perhaps than Perkins. He is older and has had more exper- ience, but he is not so fine a type. I played the part of schoolmaster as usual and questioned him closely about himself and his business career. Frederic H. Allen followed Perrin. He also had some plan to depose Huerta. If Huerta is not deposed until Allen does it, he has a long and peaceful reign before him. We went to dinner with Mr. and Mrs. James Creelman. Mr. Stoddard, of the Evening Mail, was there, and also Robert Underwood Johnson. We had an interest- ing discussion after dinner regarding the Civil War and its heroes. The conver- sation ran along the line of the unreliability of history. I cited many well known, curious beliefs that were absolutely false. Some of them related to Roosevelt and others to President Wilson. Mr. Johnson also had a number of illustrations. Stoddard is a great Bull Mooser and very close to Roosevelt. I could see, however, that he was inclined to believe that the President would put his chief out of business if he continued as successfully as now. He said in September, 1911, Roosevelt predicted that Wilson would be nominated and elected, and that it would be because of his well known opposi- tion to the bosses. At that time Roosevelt did not think that he, himself, would be one of his opponents. January 20, 1914. Another busy day. Mr. Trumbull telephoned while I was shaving and so did J. Borden Harriman. Wallace came while I was at breakfast and Martin followed him. And this reminds me that I have a letter from Walter Page this morning in which he says that Martin has written him that he favored me
