During the day Milholland introduced me to Sena-
tor Weeks of Massachusetts, who that evening gave
at the New Willard Hotel a private dinner to Jules
Bache, a leading Wall Street broker, Milholland,
and myself. Senators Smoot of Utah and Carter of
Kansas were also present, as well as John Dwight,
the former Republican "whip" of the House. Next
day I went on to New York as Milholland's guest,
meeting then several of his friends, among them the
Rev. Richard Roberts, a man of unusual charm and
vigor, who recently won the Stanford audience from
our University pulpit. I also renewed acquaintance
with Frederick C. Howe, an enlightened and coura-
geous official, Norman Thomas, a young man with a
vision, and the progressive publisher, B. W. Huebsch.
