James Rudolph Garfield, Commissioner of Corporations in the Department of Commerce and Labor, acknowledges receipt of copies of letters from President Roosevelt. He approves of Roosevelt’s methods of dealing with the Senate, and feels the public does not understand the complicated relationship between the two. In a postscript Garfield writes that he received General Leonard Wood’s letter about the articles, and there is no need to answer such attacks. If the Senate asks for the records the truth will come to light.
