These are the things I fear most. I hope the President is too big a man
to allow them to affect him, and yet I should not want too much of this
sort of comment to appear in such influential publications as Collier's.
Joseph Johnson, Tammany candidate for Postmaster, called. He
said he thought in all fairness I should see him since I had been seeing
his detractors. He had sense enough to remain only fifteen minutes, al-
though I had assigned him thirty. I think I know his type which is not
very high, though shrewd and aggressive.
Mr. Bridges called as a friend of Judge Seabury in order to develop
whether the Administration has any candidate for Governor of New York. I
assured him the President was taking no part in the selection of candidates
for state offices in New York or elsewhere; That if anyone represented that
they were speaking for the President, Judge Seabury might be assured from
me that it was without authority.
David Starr Jordan called after dinner and remained for an hour.
I got nothing new from him and told him nothing of importance myself. Henry
Ford is thinking of putting up money for Jordan and, perhaps, Mr. Bryan
to go to Stockholm upon some indefinite peace plan. Jordan seems to have
good sense in regard to it and is not carried away by illusory hopes. I
leave tonight on the 12.30 for Washington.
