President Roosevelt is very annoyed at the publication of newspaper articles which make it look like he is attempting to interfere in the Iowa factional contest through Secretary of the Treasury Shaw. Roosevelt’s preference would be for Shaw to stay out of the contest altogether while he is in the cabinet, but at the very least he believes that Shaw should make it clear that he is acting on his own responsibility, and that the administration is not involved.
