President Roosevelt sends Secretary of the Treasury Shaw a letter similar to several others he has received from Congressmen dealing with Shaw’s lack of support for Iowa Governor Albert Baird Cummins. Roosevelt does not wish to force Shaw to back Cummins against his conscience, but requests that if Shaw cannot support him, that he take no part in the political campaigns in Iowa.
