President Roosevelt sends Robert J. Collier copies of two letters that he received from the correspondent of the Kansas City Star from Missouri. Roosevelt’s letters to Collier are being used by Samuel Hopkins Adams to try to harm Roosevelt during the final moments of the campaign. Roosevelt states that he is in favor of the Republican ticket in Missouri, as he is in every state, but never made a comparison between the Republican candidate Joseph Wingate Folk and his opponent Cyrus Packard Walbridge. He asks that Collier keep the matter to himself, as someone, whether Adams or someone else, apparently hopes to influence the election in Missouri, as well as the presidential election itself.
