Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt explains to Seth Low that President William McKinley forbids him from taking a stand either way in the New York City political contest. However, McKinley’s secretary, John Addison Porter, and Secretary of the Navy John Davis Long both support Low. Roosevelt wishes he could do more for Low beyond what he has done “on the quiet.”
