Henry Prather Fletcher, shrewd diplomat, refused to serve unless, it was reported, he was made chairman of the delegation. No less unwilling were Republican Senators to absent themselves from their legislative duties to go on a diplomatic mission on the eve of an important political campaign. The President's inability to round...
