President Roosevelt assures Attorney General Bonaparte not to worry about press generated from the “Electric Combine” (presumably General Electric) situation and agrees with Bonaparte’s ideas for managing the effects from the distribution of the Appeal to Reason. Roosevelt is not surprised that Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treasury, is acrimonious, and thinks the conservative party he describes would gain very little support.
