"WASHINGION, May u, 1917.
MY Dear Mr.. Tawney: 1 am deeply
grieved over the phase which the dis
cussion of the appropriation for the
travelling expenses of the president
took yesterday. I think it is a legiti-
mate argument in favor of such an
appropriation that congressman and
many others press the acceptance of
invitations to visit their sections and
districts, because the urgency of such
requests indicates the opinion on the
part of the people that one of the du-
ties of the president is to visit the
people in their homes.
But the intimation or suggestion
that the acceptance by congressman
of the presidents invitation to travel
on the train within their respective
districts or states was a reason why
they should not vote their free opinion
on the question of such an appropria-
ton is to me a most painful one.
