Dr. Keen wants President Roosevelt to make an exception to his stance on non-interference in state politics. Keen is outraged by J. Edwards Addicks’s influence in Delaware and calls his career “shameless” and refers to his “baseness of character.” Keen is grateful that Dr. Abbott will present the matter to President Roosevelt.
