Letter from Edwin S. Conway to William Loeb

Letter from Edwin S. Conway to William Loeb

Edwin S. Conway has felt occasionally that he has been referring too many things to President Roosevelt, but explains to William Loeb that the reason for this is that he holds Roosevelt in high regard and is anxious to see Roosevelt’s policies carried out. Conway has had “some pretty warm battles” with bankers and magnates who side with the meat packers against Roosevelt, but is optimistic about the reforms that Roosevelt will be able to accomplish.

Letter from Edwin S. Conway to Shelby M. Cullom

Edwin S. Conway writes to Republican Senator Shelby Cullom protesting an amendment to the Interstate Commerce Commission law that would allow shippers to appear before court and present wrongs against them. As a shipper, he views this as another way for railroads to maintain an advantage, seeing as they are more organized than shippers. He commends President Roosevelt’s character and believes Roosevelt is looking out for the needs of the shippers.
