President Roosevelt is concerned that Democratic newspapers are crediting Assistant Postmaster General Robert John Wynne with bringing the Post Office scandal to light, instead of Postmaster General Henry C. Payne or Fourth Assistant Joseph L. Bristow. The newspapers try to blame Payne and Roosevelt, “concealing the fact” that they came into power long after the events took place.
