McCall is making an extensive tour in the West, but John A. Sleicher expects he will return on Saturday, and hopes to see him before Monday. He hopes that President Roosevelt has not been upset by Senator Edgar Truman Brackett’s letter printed by the New York Times. The letter emphasizes conditions in the state of New York for which politicians must be held accountable. Sleicher believes that Secretary of War Elihu Root should make a statement on behalf of Roosevelt and George B. Cortelyou regarding a matter they have discussed. He believes that this would protect them from lies that are told repeatedly by Alton B. Parker.
