Joseph Bucklin Bishop has read James Sullivan Clarkson’s letter and takes issue with many of Clarkson’s political observations. Regarding the Harriman matter, Bishop does not believe that President Roosevelt needs to do anything beyond stating that the message was sent without his approval. There will not be a “sweeping Tammany victory” in New York City and Mayor Low’s reelection looks promising.
