Vice President Roosevelt asks Charles Erskine Scott Wood if he can contact the Portland Oregonian because Roosevelt respects the newspaper but they have not been treating him fairly. He was particularly annoyed at an editorial which claims that Governor Benjamin B. Odell has been a more successful governor of New York. Roosevelt defends his administration and believes that Odell’s success stems from following the policies started under the Roosevelt administration.
