Frederick A. Sawyer, secretary of The Newspaper Magazine Co., informs President Roosevelt of Adolph Edwards’ slanderous booklet, “The Roosevelt Panic of 1907.” Sawyer believes capitalists and financiers inspired the booklet to discredit Roosevelt’s administration. Furious, he hired writers to produce a manuscript refuting the booklet’s claims. Sawyer appreciates suggestions for further action in the matter.
