As promised, United States District Attorney Henry L. Stimson obtained a copy of William Randolph Hearst’s political platform from the Independence League, and sends it to Roosevelt. He also tells Roosevelt that he has talked with a number of New York officials about the matters that he had previously discussed with Roosevelt. Stimson discusses the various indictments he has secured relating to the investigation of “the sugar situation” and rebates. He has had several busy months, and is now planning to go on vacation for several weeks.
