President Roosevelt informs Nathan Bijur that the enclosed Herald clippings concerning a letter on behalf of Roosevelt to the engineers is a lie. Roosevelt believes their dishonesty should be “shown up” because they attack him for not interfering — notably, without authority from the Constitution — in the labor troubles, then suggest that this is because he is afraid of not being elected.
