President Roosevelt tells Senator Bourne that any statements that have been made about agreements with Senator Charles William Fulton toward a delegation in Oregon, or attempts from the administration to affect the Oregon legislature, are untrue. Instead of sending a confidential accusatory letter, Roosevelt asserts that Bourne should have openly stated his confidence that the statements were false.
