President Roosevelt finds it difficult to understand what is going on from afar, and Eastern public opinion seems to approve the action of machine Republicans and Democrats joining in last year’s city election. The Attorney General has advised against D. C. Bailey’s removal but Roosevelt has added a few comments and requested another report. Roosevelt wishes to know if an investigation ever occurred in the case of Frank W. Howbert.
