Albert Shaw clarifies matters regarding a letter that he sent to William F. Saunders. While President Roosevelt approves of Cyrus Packard Walbridge’s candidacy for governor of Missouri and stands with the Republican ticket, he did not say that Walbridge is a better man than Democratic candidate Joseph Wingate Folk, who he previously praised for his work as Circuit Attorney. The letter that Shaw sent to Saunders with this sentiment was meant to be entirely confidential.
